When inserting the Spacer from the Lomograflok Back into the Chamonix, you first have to remove the ground glass frame, which can be dropped if you're not careful, and reframing and refocusing is also a cumbersome process.

I made new models by modifying the 3D models of roggenschrotbrot(thanks!) here. I modified the focusing, stability, compatibility with the existing Spacer, etc. I used PLA filaments reinforced with carbon fiber.
Are these straight-sided tubing in the film section, or do they barrel/bulge like on the actual 3004/3005/3006/3010 tanks?

This is the prototype (and not the final version) which has currently has straight sides. I am going to process in it once I have it built to full scale (hopefully this week) and see if I need to make any changes to the cylinders.

A few weeks ago I was testing a friend's Fotodiox Shift/Stitch Adapter and realized that it requires a recessed board to use wide angle lenses.
But I think if you make a 3D adapter like this(for Chamonix 45N-1, 45N-2, 45F-1, 45F-2) that can put the front standard further in, you won't need to install all the wide angle lenses on the recessed board. :)
I recently purchased a Kodak 8x10 Masterview (KMV). Lovely, sturdy, easy-to-use, and (relatively) portable cameras. Unfortunately the pressed metal lens boards are hard to find and/or quite expensive. It was pretty easy to make 3D printed lens boards with the proper raised light lip on the rear. My first drafts were too thin and flexible, so I pulled the board out to 5mm thickness and epoxied a piece of veneer on front. I also made a Canham-to-KMV adapter. Because of the design (raised light lip on rear and receiver for the 110mm board on front) I printed it in two parts and epoxied it together. Eventially I will send out to have printed in something other than PLA, but for the moment it is fine. Happy to share STL files if anyone wants.

One more thing... A quarter-plate adapter for a 2x3 camera.
I always wanted a sturdy quarter-plate camera (3.25 x 4.25") with full front and rear movements, but couldn't find anything great. While browsing at my local camera store, I realized that a 2x3 Ebony could just fit a quarter-plate without modification. I printed a new back for the camera, with a swappable ground glass panel and a few plate holders. I stole Robert Bieber's fantastic ideas of using magnets to hold the back closed and (when reversed) push a light trap closed for the dark slides. It still seems sort of horrible to put something so ugly on a camera so nicely made as the Ebony, but it works!
