Nikon Coolscan 35mm Film Holder

thingiverse

This is my first attempt at creating a very simple 35mm film holder for a Nikon Coolscan 4000 / IV that will also fit a CoolScan 5000 / V. The design takes its dimensions off the MA-21 slide holder, but it's tailored for people who prefer to manually scan strips of film rather than mounted slides. It's also my first time designing anything in CAD software for 3D printing, so any comments or tips are greatly appreciated. There are many changes I'd like to make, but I'm still learning how to use AutoDesk and haven't figured them out yet. There are two files available - an STL file and a Gcode file with supports that can be directly printed on the 3D printer. The GCode uses a 5% infill setting, which is essentially useless and a waste of filament, so it's best to opt for a 0% infill instead unless you prefer a heavier fill density. I printed this design using Sunlu PLA+ at a 0.2 layer thickness with an extruder temperature of 210 degrees Fahrenheit and a bed temperature of 55 degrees Celsius, along with an 80% fan speed and a print speed of 50mm/s.
