prusaprinters

<p>I was tired of paying a lot of money for a really nice, and light weight Mattebox for a gimbal or steadicam</p> <p>So I made this! Hope you like it, I worked really hard on it.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Hey friends! I moved this over from Thingiverse because good good that place is slow!</p> <p>Heres all my updates copied over.</p> <p>So I really was getting sick of looking for a light weight mattebox for gimbal and steadicam stuff, so I made this. Id like any ideas to improve / make lighter.</p> <p>It can fit (as far as I can tell) 4inch by 5.65inch, filters. Some day I want to make it able to use two filters, but honestly pro-mist is getting replaced by post anywho. The first ring I made works with lenses that are 114mm lenses, however I think ill be making smaller rings as well? not sure!</p> <p>few notes, Ill make smaller rings latter, if you don't want to wait, feel free to make a few some your self! the rings will change but the back plate should stay the same? I think?</p> <p>Other note: Once I finish this project and im happy with it, I will take it down a month after, then start selling it, so get it well the gettin's good.</p> <p> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PCFBKIXGjU&amp;feature=youtu.be"></oembed> </figure> </p> <p>PARTS LIST:</p> <p>1 80mm M4 Bolt<br/> 3 40mm M4 Bolts<br/> 6 M4 Nuts<br/> 9 M3 Nuts<br/> 5 12mm M3 Bolts<br/> 1 30mm M3 Bolt<br/> 3 15mm M3 Bolts</p> <p>UPDATE::</p> <p>I fixed the filter latch from preventing filters to enter the chamber.. sorry about that, and I added a 83MM clamp, this should work for Rokinon 35mm lenses.</p> <p>UPDATE2::</p> <p>Added 77mm clamp<br/> Added 15mm mount<br/> Fixed the flag so it does not get in the way of the top bolt.</p> <p>UPDATE3::</p> <p>The first version of the rod mount was kinda jank so this one makes it super strong. Its (with 25% infill and a 4 line width) 200 grams with the 15mm rod adapter, without its closer to 156 grams, however my scale is not awesome.<br/> -side note: you will need to print the 15mm rod mounts with some kind of support. Sorry about that. :(</p> <p>UPDATE4::</p> <p>The CazBox got a little smaller! It now fits on the Prusa Mini! and also a little lighter. The only other part that needs re-printing is the flag.</p> <p>UPDATE5::<br/> I Re-worked the main box and the flag a bit so they can be lighter and stronger. Print time should go up but that's okay. I also flipped the main ring around so the clamp screw is at the top instead of the bottom. Your going to need a m4 (8.3mm D) washer to keep it sold. Ill upload some pics when I get my new prusa mini. in like... a few months. :( sold my CR-10.</p> <p>I hope to do a assembly tutorial at some point so stay tuned for that!</p> <p>UPDATE6:: (3/4/2020)</p> <p>Last update for a wile, I'm done with the main body and all that's left now is the filters. I might want to make a magnetized way of attaching the 15mm clamp but that's for later.</p> <p>UPDATE7: (3/21/2020)</p> <p>MOVED TO PRUSA!</p> <p>Ill be doing a tutorial on how to make in a HOT hot second &lt;3 gada, get my mini first :(</p> <p>Updated:</p> <p>-Flag is lighter and stronger<br/> -Fixed issue where the glass would sometimes not fit in the cavity<br/> -Fixed hole alignment issue<br/> -Now printable <em>almost completely</em> without supports<br/> -Added CazBox &lt;3 Logo</p> <p>-love you all</p>
