Pinhole, Printed - a 3D Printed Pinhole Camera

Clipper 6×18, a Kickstarter stretch goal design, is the first ever 3D printed panoramic pinhole camera, and one of the very few 6×18 production cameras ever made with a curved backplane. Printed in black plastic, it is strong, robust, and light – perfect for professional, amateur, or educational use. This complete camera comes with a starter roll of film to get you going. If you have a 3D printer, you can print and make your own camera.

Make

If you have access to a 3D printer, you can make your own cameras!

You can find or make your own parts (see the Support section below).

Editions

• Current “A” model (“C” for Clipper on top and bottom) – past Flyer experience and user suggestions were applied during Clipper design, so the first production model has not changed.

Operation
