So we were pretty excited to come across this fantastic project - and if you haven't yet, get ready for a whoa moment...
Recent design graduate Leo Marius has created the very first 3D-printed SLR camera! That's right, he only went and printed an entire camera (minus the lens and the film). But what got us even more excited, was when we realised that he has used sugru to ensure the entire housing is lightproof.
Wooo, sugru!
Leo has put the entire process on his Instructables guide, so those lucky enough to have access to a 3D printer can make it for themselves.The parts take around 15 hours to print, and about an hour to assemble.
This is pretty close to how we felt when we discovered that HYREL had managed to 3D print with sugru back in June.
Could this help get people using SLR cameras again? With Leo's invitation to "copy, understand, improve then share again" we reckon it's a design that will only get better and better.
