This 3D Printed Camera Looks Like The Real Thing

We love sharing 3D printed cameras. The thing is that most of them actually look like 3D printed cameras (for better or for worse).

This 3D Printed Camera Looks Like The Real Thing

Here is a 3d printed pinhole camera made by Instructable user alepalan which actually looks like a bought camera.

Aside from the very nicely engineered body, the finished looks comes from the fact that it was not “home printed” on an extruded/filament based machine (like the maker) but in a more pro STL type OBJET machine. Those print layer after layer by flashing them with light. The resolution and smoothness is significantly higher than that of a filament printer.

The camera even has a lenscap!

If you love both 3D printing and photography this is a really cool project to try out – the STL files are available on the Instructables page.
