Not knowing a thing about 3D printing, would a 150x150mm filter holder to fit a 127mm filter size (210mm Super Angulon) be difficult?
Seeing how amazing the constructions ported here is inspiring. Excellent work!!

Constructing a filter holder from scratch is somewhat basic as far as modeling goes. But that said you need a basic knowledge of 3D modeling and construction. Otherwise the learning curve is steep. But not in any way impossible.
I work in Fusion360 which is a modeling and construction software that has a free license for personal use https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/personal
It should last you lifetime unless you want to go professional.
The easier way to start is to get a printer and print others designs. Thingverse is good place to start looking for things to print.
Made an adapter back for a whole plate camera to take 8x8 images using a standard 8x10 holder.
Agree, very useful addition!
Just finished my WillTravel 4x5 XL 47.
First of all a big thanks to Morten who made it all available on Thingiverse. And was kind enough to supply support along the way.
And I think he can print for you in case you haven't got a printer.

I have some housings from Mamiya Profesional, but without the handle. So I tried to make the handle with 3D printing. I found a template at thinkinverse.com. I designed the screw and the shaft to the camera body myself. The 3D printed shaft would not withstand the stress and would break. So I reinforced it inside with either a brass tube or a carbon fiber tube.

I have restored some wooden shutters from Thorton Piccard. I was wondering if it is possible to make one with 3D printing. It works, but you have to be able to make a curtain yourself and also make a spring.

It works:

I am now trying to build a 6x12 camera with the replica Thornton Piccard shutter. Here are the first attempts. But it will take a while until it really works.

Here's a 4x5 back for a Polaroid roll film camera:
Attachment 227032
It takes custom 4x5 film holders. You can find the instructions and files at http://polaroids.theskeltons.org/roll4x5.htm
And, a 4x5 back for a Polaroid pack film camera:
Attachment 227033
which uses the same film holders as above. The 114mm lens on a pack camera doesn't quite cover 4x5, but it works. Instructions at http://polaroids.theskeltons.org/pack4x5.htm
