Mock Camera Vase

***Please consider hitting the like button. A small reward to me for sharing my efforts with you.

This is a replica of an old fashioned bellows-style camera turned into a vase.

It was designed for dry/fake flower and as such is not waterproof.

I used Hatchbox PLA for all parts.

The bottom and Lid are Medium Wood PLA

The supports and hinge are True Gold PLA

The bellows is Magic Stone Brick

The top was started with Medium Wood and paused at layer to switch to True Gold PLA

The view finders are Carbon Fiber Black PLA.

Notes:

I used my 0.8 nozzle. I went with 100% infill for the bellows and 20% for most of the rest.

The viewfinders are the most delicate parts. I printed them at .12 layers.

Post-Printing

Assembly:

The parts are designed to be a tight fit. I used CA glue on the most critical part - the hinge between the bottom and lid. The rest I used clear gorilla glue. Whatever works for you. Dry fit everything first. Don’t be surprised if there is a little sanding here and there.

Two M3 bolts are needed if you want the view finders to be moveable. I will probably glue mine in place, but the work just fine with the bolts.
