Howdy kids! Getting back up-to-speed on what's been going on in the LF world; am going to fall asleep tonight seriously bummed about my Efke film being gone. Ugh, honestly (for me) that's the worst news ever; I LOVED that film.
I also came by the forum to see what people are doing with the Makerbot. A search yielded a very surprising zero results. This is a relatively cheap 3D printer with pretty good tolerances even by photographic standards. Some people are doing some pretty amazing stuff with it already, from pinhole cameras to tripod mounts to lens caps to adapter spools for 620:

I thought for sure I'd see a film holder here.
Is anyone playing around with this? We have one at my company (the Makerbot 2), and it's gaining in popularity since the company ran a 3D pinewood derby for it's employees. We're allowed to tinker and use it for whatever, and tomorrow I'm going to kick off some 620 film spools, and tonight I've started designing a 116 to 120 film spool adapter to shoot a Brownie #2A. Uses are endless, and if I can get my apartment in order I might even try to find a place for one. Anyway, just interested to see if anyone else is playing with this.
Cheers!
