Camera Obscura (Pinhole Camera)

grabcad

This is a project that I designed and built for a school assignment. I was tasked with building a working pinhole camera that could be easily used by anyone with minimal instruction.Inside is a slot for a 3"x3" sheet of photosensitive film. After loading in the film you must find a well lit area and line up the camera with your target. After opening the aperture to let the light in you must time the amount of exposure and then close the aperture before using a dark room to develop the photo.This was a super cool project and I had a lot of fun building and designing the camera. Most of the parts are laser cut, but some parts were salvaged from old scrap. Nothing in the design was 3D printed.Feel free to leave a comment with any questions you may have.Detailed instructions have been included in the technical report if you'd like to build one for yourself.
