C-PAN 6x12 camera alternative

thingiverse

I printed the 6x12 camera found here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2852935 but had some problems with it...mainly the advance axis either broke or came loose on occassion when advancing (or rewinding) the film. Also there was no utillity slot to mount a flash, viewfinder or other tool. So I made a new top and new, more solid, advance mechanism. A viewfinder is now also available. Next I wanted an open back which makes it easier to insert film. Also it will allow me, in a later stage, to create a cone with focussing options, which require me to calibrate the focussing ring (by marking the focus distance) by focussing on e.g. a piece of glass. So I created a new body and a back. the 90 label I made to add some thinckness on the original C-PAN cone, as I found it was very thin on top and bottom and light could come in. I simply glued them on the cone, top and bottom. make sure also to read the misc notes note: from the original design you need to print the cone and mouning nuts for the top. I took the liberty to add them for now you will also need 4 1/4 20 (or M6) bolts and nuts to attach the lens cone Note 2: the parts are interchangable with the original C-PAN. E.g. you can print only the top/new advance and use it on your existing C-PAN
