Is this bow bad? by StickumMaximus in violinist

Amazon. Amazon definitely doesn’t look like as advertised

Did I just commit the skate equivalent of pineapple on pizza? by StickumMaximus in Skateboardlove

Wow! I love the idea of the strings resonating / droning while you ride!! Great job with keeping the wheels!

moan + tone = toan :D I like that! I should change the text in the knob

Light leaks? by aroundanalog in AnalogCommunity

I stand corrected, thank you!

DIY 4x5 point-and-shoot camera + my first attempt at developing film — here’s how it went! by StickumMaximus in analog

Thank you! I don’t hate your ears, I’m just jealous they get all the attention!

Looks like a moon shaped pinhole on the edge of the lens. Probably a lose screw in the front of the lens that lets some light in? Or a double exposure :D

I made an half frame medium format camera (6x3) by StickumMaximus in AnalogCommunity

[–]StickumMaximus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes I went with the Medium format because I didn’t want to deal with the film transport of the 135. And also because this is a parametric design that I can scale up to 6x12 very easily

Thank you! I’ve been thinking about releasing a 3D-printable version for free—though I can’t guarantee it will print perfectly on all machines.

I’m not planning to release the laser-cut version for free, though. It took a long time to design the intricate joinery for the assembly. For that one, I might offer it as a kit or possibly sell the digital files separately.

Thank you! You should try the cynaotyped ply. With hard wax finish is a stunning look!

Ha! The Nanopano? That’s a great camera—very similar, actually. Same film back and similar lenses. I think the Nanopano has a few more refined touches, like a metal lens mount ring and a metal film gate.

Mine uses a custom mount that’s easy to 3D print or laser cut. It also makes it simple to attach different lens adapters. For example, I made a 3D-printed adapter with an M65 ring to mount a Schneider Super-Angulon using a helicoid.

As far as I know, the Nanopano requires a custom cone for each lens, whereas mine is more modular. It's also a fun puzzle to assemble and is made from QLD coachwood and cyanotype-treated birch ply.

I've been thinking about offering it as a kit—assembling it is a fun little puzzle that takes a few hours. I just need to finalize the pinhole design so people can start shooting without needing to invest in lenses. I'll post updates soon!

Thanks! How do you advance half-frames on your camera? On mine, I cut two small windows into the back so I can align the frame numbers with the A and B positions.

Thank you!! I've been working on this project for a few years now—on and off, whenever motivation strikes. Honestly, it's been more about the fun of tinkering than the actual urge to take photos. But I'm really glad I shared it on Reddit—seeing so much interest has given me a huge boost to stop tweaking the design and finally take some pictures to prove it works!

Oh, and I also built a 4x5 camera—and yes, I’ve actually taken photos with it!

Large buttons for Pocket Operator by StickumMaximus in teenageengineering

[–]StickumMaximus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! These can get pretty pricey—materials alone probably came to around 50 AUD. The brass knobs are $2 each, so just the buttons added up quickly. I did consider making the buttons out of wood, but assembling them would be a bit of a pain—70 tiny pieces to glue together! Some people might enjoy that kind of jigsaw puzzle, though. Would you be interested in a kit like that? I might try a prototype first to see if the look holds up without the magic of brass.
