A Curved Plane Panoramic Pinhole Camera: A 6x12 Masterpiece Unfolds. In Development. Design Progress is Moving Rapidly. I Am Now Confident in the Working Model, Yet a Test with Film Remains Elusive. Some Refinements are Necessary to Ensure Compatibility with a Proper Tripod, Alongside an Enhanced Fastening Method for the Camera's Top Section. Receding Magnets, Like Those Employed by ONDU Pinhole Cameras, is One Potential Solution I Am Exploring. Essential Components Include Two M3 Screws and Nuts to Securely Attach the Shutter to the Body, in Addition to a Rubber Band Necessary to Hold the Camera's Top Plate Firmly in Place. A Robust Fastening Mechanism will be Achieved Through the Strategic Placement of Magnets. Upon Completion, Apply Glue to Seal the Plate to the Camera Body Following Installation. Final Preparations Include Loading Film and Utilizing a Rubber Band to Securely Close the Camera. Critical Settings: Print Options: Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter The design process for this camera entailed sourcing inspiration from existing projects. The initial template was taken from Schlem's 6x18 Pinhole Camera, accessed through Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/schlem/). This prototype utilized the film winder system crafted by Schlem in his Medium Format Pinhole Cameras. For guidance on assembling a panoramic camera, the project "Panoramic Pinhole Camera" featured in Make: magazine (http://makezine.com/projects/pinhole-panoramic-camera/) served as a vital resource. Design iterations for both camera and parts were undertaken using 123D Design.
