Univ. Camera Quick Release

thingiverse

A customer visited the shop with a unique project. He is a vascular surgeon who uses an ultrasound machine and a modified Polaroid camera to capture images of his work. Unfortunately, Polaroid film is no longer available, so the customer sought help in finding a new solution. The store's boss suggested using a Canon Powershot SX130 camera with the existing bracket, but this seemed impractical due to its length. To solve this problem, the staff member used measurements from the original bracket and 3D-printed a custom MakerBot version that would fit the smaller camera. The main feature of the new design is a quick-release plate, which allows easy battery swapping and mounting to the ultrasound unit. The staff member requests that others do not steal the design to sell but encourages modification and adaptation for personal use.
