This is the link to an interactive view of my 3D modeled camera housing. https://skfb.ly/6P88O
The motor I will be mounting is an electrical shutter driver. It has a small motor that takes 5V and opens the shutter mechanism. As long as voltage is supplied it will open.
From the front you can see the mounting space for the shutter. I have two 3/4″ mounting holes to further secure the shutter.
I created the viewfinder based on a rangefinder camera I took apart. This gives about a 35mm view from the beginning of the focal plane.
Below you can see my snap fit design. There is a very small gap between the components and a chamfered edge on the lid. This way it will stay locked but isn’t so hard to get into place.
I modeled the film holder after the original Minolta 16 design.
The two pieces on the side will be glued after and will be used to advance the film.
I measured and added a oled screen hole to display shutter speed and battery life. There are four m3 screw holes to mount this display. There is also a hole for the rotary encoder that will control the shutter speed.
