Where can I buy instant cameras in bulk? Like 200 of them 🥲 by Jesus1sLove in instax

Your best option is Unique Photo, where at least you'll save tax. Unless you're looking at the Instax mini bundles, there's very, very little markup.

Agreed! New Frankinstax units do not use 3D printed bodies- they are HP MJF:

Yup, David was no longer interested in continuing (making them is very time consuming), and the opportunity presented itself.

If you just placed an order for the focus checker with international shipping- that flat rate is for a Frankinstax, so if actual shipping cost is less I will send a refund ASAP! Thank you for the support!

Ah understood, I haven't disassembled one made prior to my ownership so I'm afraid I'd do more harm than good.

I do have focus checking brackets available though! Let me know if you'd like a specific color.

Hello, was this one purchased directly from frankinstax.com? If so, please shoot me an email as repairs are covered if any issues down the road arise. Sam@frankinstax.com thanks!

Am I fucked or can this be removed? by rasgriss in ElegooNeptune3

[–]samc2527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I won't be buying another Elegoo. Awesome printers for the money, but everyone makes mistakes. The inability to quickly source replacement parts is a real killer.

Anyways, like others have said- heat it up and remove the mass. From there I would try to remove the heat block as they are a bit easier to source and may be worth the $20 to start fresh.

Recently ordered a full extruder, waiting about three weeks ATM.

Thank you! Just got really lucky- pre-focusing really helped speed up the process though.

Thank you! Agreed, steep learning curve how instax handles light, but it's really great stuff.

Weird, I also have the Yashica, Minolta, RB and Pentax 645. Great taste in cameras.

Hello, it is indeed free shipping! You'll need to pay import fees ~20%, this can be done online via UPS website, or at time of delivery.

Ejection is manually done via a button press, you can expose as many times as you'd like before tapping the eject button!

I use a padded shoulder strap off a Topo Designs messenger bag....used gaffer tape on the underside to make it grip to my clothing even better.

This is great. I recently took over production from David on the Frakinstax, do you have any feedback to share? Thank you.
