This is a mod (actually multiple mods) to the Goodman SCURA pinhole camera. After using the stock camera for a while the inconsistent and big frame spacing started to annoy me. So I designed a mod to make the spacing more even. This is a "clicker" to count the sprocket holes. To advance one frame you should hear and feel four "clicks".

The clicker itself may need some sanding and or additional material in the form of some super glue on the tip (if the "tounge" is too short) or some light sanding to make it work correctly. Test it outside of the camera by hand first. I had to print a few to get the settings right and still had to sand it to make it work. Also after installing it please check with a toothpick or other small implement if the wheel turns freely. If not, try sanding it down to make it thinner.

Things you need to make the camera:

  • 8x M3x12 screw
  • 1x M3x6 pan/round/lens head screw (for counter)
  • 4x M3x45 screw 
  • 1x M4x25 (or better 22, if you can find it)
  • 1x M4 heat set insert
  • 9x M3 heat set inserts ( 8 for body, 1 for counter)
  • 4x M3 hex nut
  • 1 pinhole (pinhole in the center of a 12mm diameter disc, I recommend 0,2-0,35mm diameter)
  • thin felt for light seals
  • leatherette material

This mod is NOT compatible with the stock SCURA since the other mods I implemented are:

  • change M2 hardware to M3
  • replace hidden nuts with melt in thread inserts
  • added pins on top to help with framing
  • changed the height of and added texture to the advancement knobs

EDIT: I added a version of the top to be compatible with the original SCURA files/parts. You need to print this instead of the stock one and add the frame counter parts to make it work. You also need the additional M3 sccrew and a nut to mount the clicker. Please give some feedback if you printed it!

Update: Added a non framecounter version of the body top as well. Print this and the common parts for a camera without framecounter :)

Update2: Added missing parts to the hardware list, organized the printed parts into folders to make it easier to identify which parts to print for which version.
