Bellows form to build bellows for the Vega 4x5 and Standard 4x5 3D printed large format cameras. Customizable for other bellows builds.

As described here, but 3D printed in PLA instead of made from wood:

Onshape model that you can customize for your bellows build with a free account:

The print used around 630g of PLA and took around 11 hours on my Bambu A1. With 10% infill it is still very strong.

To put the two parts together, use four 3M screws of at least 8mm long, or just glue or tape them if you prefer. If you use screws, you can store the small one in the large one.  Mine now serves a second life as a small table stand with the optional cover.
