The Agfa Rapid Film Recharge Project

cults3d

This project started when dusting my old Agfa Rapid Camera and Beirette K cameras. They can use ordinary 35mm film but only when used in special Rapid/SL/Karat cartridges. The are not comon anymore but sold online for too much money. The Cartridge is printed in place, no gluing necessary. After printing the first one I suggest braking it apart to check the bridging. You should stick a smal piece of black felt on the angled side of the opening, so that the film can just go through smooth. The box is for fast loading a Rapid/SL/Karat cassette from a regular 135 film cassette. Stick one layer of black felt on the inside of the cover, plus a smal piece extra right between where the gears agoing to be. The axis of the gear is made square to fit but should finally get round when I thought it through further. Use tiny frops of superglue to fit the pieces together.
