- In this video I want to show you the process of making a 3D Printed DIY 6x17 Panoramic camera. The project is fully OpenSource and can be 3D printed at home. I used my QIDI TECH I-MATE S printer with eSun PLA+ as a printing material.
I made a collection for you on printables where you can find all the files needed as well as the original design:

Respekt, Simon! Sieht mega aus! Ich bik wirklich gespannt, was aus dem guten Stück rauskommen wird.
I've got the super angulon lens! For my 2 5x4 cameras! That's a start!
I designed a similar viewfinder, the design specifications are as follows:
Front Element is plano-concave lens - diameter 50mm, focal length minus 100
Rear Element is plano convex lens - diameter 25mm, focal length 125
Distance between lens elements 25mm, yields a magnification of 0.8.
You want to design a simple housing to hold the two elements 25mm apart, and that allows a retaining rim to be screwed onto the front element, behind which lens masks may be fitted to approximate the view with the various lens options. Of course, you need a cone for each lens option as well.
Mask sizes for the above lens combination are as follows:
A 75mm lens mask to cover the front element needs to be 50mm diameter with a 45.3mm wide by 16mm high aperture.
A 90mm lens mask to cover the front element needs to be 50mm diameter with a 37.7mm wide x 13.3 mm high aperture.
A 105mm lens mask to cover the front element needs to be 50mm diameter with a 32.4mm wide x 11.4mm high aperture.
A 150mm lens mask to cover the front element needs to be 50mm diameter with a 22.7mm wide x 8mm high aperture.
A 210mm lens mask to cover the front element needs to be 50mm diameter with a 16.2mm wide x 5.7mm high aperture.
NOTE: A 50mm front element size will be able to accommodate masks for lenses down to 72mm focal lengths. If you want to cover 65mm focal length you’d need a 55mm diameter lens with minus 100 focal length.
Thanks a lot. For me great new info.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :-)
Looks nice!! Congratilations!!
thanks, I wondered how the lens, cone and helicoid focus went together, and if you could fit any lens, this is what Alavandi cameras use for their camera lenses, good to know how to install a lens.
As long as the image circle is big enough you should be able to fit any lens :-) I later found out, that the Fujinon lens would have worked too with some parameters changed of the lenscone.
I would love a video on the view finder, Im also not a fan of the bubble levels
I use a next level technique called cropping.
You didn't show any images. That's considered a felony in the UA-cam photography channel world. :)
I'm currently in prison for that ;-) I didn't have any pictures yet when I made the video, those are in the next one 😂😅
Thank you for your video. I’m in the process of printing the camera. What size heat inserts and screws did you use to assemble it? I have been unable to find this listed anywhere. Thanks for any info?
Great to hear !:)
I used those

I can't find the part that rolls the film on the right side of the camera. Is it missing from the model?
You mean the takeup spool? That is just the spool of a standard 120 Roll :-)
I'm building the V8 version. Did you print the lens board?
Nice! Yes, I printed the lensboard :-) The files are on printables too.
@Lightleakz Which lensboard? There are three. Also which helicoid?
@@billkaroly If I remember correctly I used the M65Front-Copal_0_H10_G00_ID350_r2.stl
Lensboard. It doesn't really matter which one you use, as long as it fits your shuttersize and you put the right thickness in the parameter when configuring the cone in Fusion360 👌I use a M65 17-31mm Helicoid.
I would love to know more about your viewfinder solution. Thx for the video!
@@krakencoffeeroasters3727 I made a ground glass holder by deleting parts of the body not needed. You have to mount the lens to the holder that set critical focus. Then mount the camera body and lens to shoot.
Another question... did the viewfinder you designed work? If so, can you share the stl?
Yes, the viewfinder works like a charm! But unfortunately, the lenses I used are not available anymore, so sharing the stl makes no sense. Maybe I'll design a new, even better one :-)
@@Lightleakz please do
2:37 could someone please point me a link where i can get it ?
Do you mean the lens ? I bought mine on Ebay, imported it from Japan. :-)
@Lightleakz yes. i tried to look with several search terms "vintage lens with manual shutter lever" resulted in no lens matching the description. it will be really helpful if you point to the ebay link. I'll try to use that reference
@@pavan.kumar.n Search for " Large Format Lens" www.ebay.ch/itm/394902218214
This could be an example.
@@Lightleakz thank you so much!
Pity we didn't get to have a good look at the finished product. It's not a good idea to shoot against a large window backlight without pushing some forward light in. I just hope you don't do that when shooting with your new camera.
I'll try to give you a good look at the finished product in the next video about the 617 :-) I like the backlit look, on photos and on video. But I see your point, for a "product" video it's maybe not the best lighting.
@@Lightleakz Thanks for your response, Im looking forward to having a good look at the fruits of your labour.
