parametric camera lens connectors

prusaprinters

I found myself frustrated with a lack of open-source options for camera parts, especially for the Mamiya press system, so I made my own.These models are built around a fully parametric design. The *.f3d files can be used in Fusion 360 to generate models for any lens system that uses 3 mount tabs.As a holdover while I write documentation:The tabs are labeled from 1 to 3 (users choice of which to start with) counterclockwise while looking at the rear of the lensAll of the necessary measurements can be made with a pair of calipersThe complicated measurements are built around measuring “chords”, or lines that intersect a circle. In this case, the chords we want are straight line distances between the outer edges of the tabs to measure the size of the tabs and their locations.You may have to play around with sizing to make the pieces fit for different lens systems. The values I used for the Sony E-Mount parts worked well for my Ender 3 ProRoadmap:DoneMake initial parametric male and female modelsDoneMake male and female connectors for Sony E-MountDoneMake connectors for Mamiya press lensesDoneMake adapter for Mamiya press lenses to Sony E-Mount Make connectors for Nikon F-Mount Make connectors for Olympus OM System Make parametric rear lens cap model and make models for all systems above Make parametric body cap model and make models for all systems above Write detailed documentation for working with these parametric models Come up with a solution for locking the connectorsThis is very much a work in progress. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.I currently have cameras and lenses in the systems listed in the roadmap, but if you have calipers and a couple hours to print test parts, you can have parts for whatever system you need.
