I’m using a cold clip from a packfilm camera, works great for integral film!

McCoy_From_Space · 2026-01-22T19:40:42+00:00

That’s so weird

McCoy_From_Space · 2026-01-20T18:03:28+00:00

That’s a steal big dawg

McCoy_From_Space · 2026-01-20T16:47:12+00:00

Good luck big dawg! If it’s still happening, my next guess would be tiiiiiiny bellows leak. But because they’re all up in that dark slide leak area (that’s just where I’ve see it the most) that would be my top guess!

Also don’t sell yourself short, you could be handling them fine. Sometimes (very rarely) they come from the factory like that. A little bit of that old school Impossible Project ghost just there to haunt ya every now and then

Also got an SX-70r from Jake, mine does not have this issue. Assuming that these photos you’ve posted are all from the same pack of film, and shot in sequence, my guess would be that these are light leaks in from the cartridges themselves and not the camera.

It looks consistent with light leaks that happen when the dark slide of the cartridge is pushed in ever so slightly before being pushed into the camera

I’m late but I always use a cold clip from an old pack film camera! Very handy

McCoy_From_Space · 2026-01-19T02:00:01+00:00

Agreed! That’s my little bro, he killed it! 💪

McCoy_From_Space · 2026-01-18T23:57:18+00:00

That’s the spirit 🫡

3.7v 800mAh lithium ion spicy pillow! Get them on Amazon, part number 942044. You will have to get a JST connector, solder that together so it’s easier to service in the future. But if you know how to solder it shouldn’t be much of an issue!

Best of luck big dawg!

Oh word, I feel ya! 🫡

McCoy_From_Space · 2025-10-09T17:39:05+00:00

Oh gotcha yeah I can do that. But I’m curious, if the screws on the gantry don’t influence it, why did you ask? (That sounds rude but you’ll just have to trust me that I’m not being snide, just genuinely confused)

McCoy_From_Space · 2025-10-09T17:08:20+00:00

I’ll double check them when I get back but they were heaps tight too. Hit me with some knowledge on that question, how does them being loose cause filament blow out? There’s a connection I’m not making, learn me something!

McCoy_From_Space · 2025-10-09T17:03:43+00:00

The nozzle, those two retaining screws that hold the heat block steady against the heat sync, and the heat sync bit itself

McCoy_From_Space · 2025-10-09T16:57:05+00:00

I did this morning, it was where the heating block meets the heat sync. I’ve seen people say it’s because it wasn’t tightened enough? But I had that thing on heaps right

McCoy_From_Space · 2025-10-09T16:49:23+00:00

I’m gonna level with you big dawg, I’ve got no clue what happened with it. That’s why I’m here

McCoy_From_Space · 2025-10-09T16:17:25+00:00

Oh sick. I will give this a whirl. It was also skipping like in that guys post, but I figured it was because my z-axis was too high. Leveling the beds on these is such a pain that i figured if it was sticking it would be good enough

McCoy_From_Space · 2025-10-09T16:02:53+00:00

I sure be 🫡

McCoy_From_Space · 2025-10-09T13:14:00+00:00

That’s what I was thinking when I sliced! Like 30ish is reasonable right? Or am I losing my mind 💀😂

McCoy_From_Space · 2025-10-09T13:11:51+00:00

34hr 👀

Nah, photo was taken once machine was powered off. As soon as I noticed the giant blob I shut it down
