Fusion 360 File for Customizing and modification Free download on the following Link; https://www.printables.com/model/246679-camera-bellows-tpu-vase-mode-customizable-f3d-file If anything else the f3d file will show you how I did it and you could model up your own. Parameters included. You'll need to adjust the model using Fusion 360 to fit your camera size specification, **V3 Added with Multi Stage Printing for longer Bellows!** **Added a more generic V2 model.** You could try scaling it in your slicer as it prints in vase mode. but if you want to customize it you'll need to get my f3d File. Prints great, I printed mine with a TPU Shore hardness of 95a. This definitely proves the concept. To ensure this model completely blocks light I will be printing this with a larger nozzle (ranging from 0.6 to 1 mm) with layer widths the same as nozzle diameter. I will also be printing this with black TPU. I just have to wait to receive nozzles and black TPU in the mail before I can print this again. Prints in Vase Mode with the big side on the bed and a 0.1 mm layer height when using a 0.4 mm Nozzle and 0.4 mm layer width. I also recommend printing with a brim(outer and inner). I must say I am amazed with the layer adhesion of TPU! Those are the settings I've had success printing with, but if your experienced with printing in vase mode and have any recommendations let me know, this is my first vase mode project. Could also be used for other things I guess.
