Macro rig "Mark II"

thingiverse

This is the second version of my macro rig for Canon S100 and 50mm FD lens. The adapter, camera base, and led ring are all separate pieces, allowing the concept to be adapted to any camera or lens using different adapters. The final assembly is compact and solid enough to be carried everywhere. The led ring resistors are designed for a 3.6V supply, making it possible to use either a single 18650 cell or three AA NiMh cells in series to power the system. I used standard 10mm white LEDs with their tips filed off. Printer Settings: Printer: FrankenPrinter Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 50% 3dhex Notes: As usual, my Fusion360 file export was incorrect on the X-axis orientation. The CameraSupport requires a support in the bottom part surrounding the hole but I printed mine without it and filed away the uneven bottom surface. Post-Printing Instructions: LedRing and LedRingSupport Assembly: Use a 1 ~ 1.5mm drill bit to open up holes in the led ring if needed. If your printer is precise and the LED pins are small like mine, you may not need to do this. Place the 16 LEDs (already with their tips filed off) into the ring as shown in the pictures. Solder a resistor in series to each LED and connect all the (R+LED) assemblies in parallel. I used a compact arrangement as shown. To assemble, use screws if desired, or apply hot glue to attach the Ring (white part in the picture) and the Support (green part). Align the flat parts of each piece, which will come into contact with the Base. Custom Parts: Pictures 1mm Drill Bit Photo Screw SMD Components 5MM LED Mercury on Cinnabar base
