Camera Filter Bracket

### About I designed this device specifically for holding a solar filter when taking pictures of the sun, but it can also hold any thin filtering film. Many people have already created similar devices, but I think this one is distinct enough to warrant sharing. ### Important Note I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS PRINT! Although I originally developed this design in Fusion 360 and tested that version, this OpenSCAD conversion has not been thoroughly tested. I have compared the STL files generated by both programs side by side and found no differences, but I will test it at some point and update this text accordingly. ### Safety Notice and Disclaimer If you plan to use this device for solar photography, be sure to conduct thorough research beforehand. This device can aid in capturing images of the sun, but ultimately it's up to you to ensure your safety and protect your camera equipment. It simply holds a piece of film in front of your camera. ### Materials Needed To create this device, you will need: * PLA or another rigid filament for the frame pieces. * Flexible filament for the cuff and gasket pieces. * Filtering film material. ### Bahtinov Mask I'm skeptical about the effectiveness of the Bahtinov mask. In theory, it replaces the front gasket and doesn't require a filter, but my only test failed to show any noticeable effect. I've left it in the code for those who know what they're doing. If you do happen to understand its purpose, I'd appreciate your feedback on how to improve it!
