Smoother print?

I printed these two adapters 2 months apart, and I was wondering why the top of the print is not smoother. This is facing up, but it is printed with the top surface on the print bed. The left side is smoother than the right side. You can see the filament lines on the right side. No, really big deal except for the look of the bracket. Any ideas on how to correct this? This has happened in other parts also. I used my X-Plus 3 and PLA filament.

Spectra SE - interesting shot

Texas is hot this time of year, no live flowers, just metal ones on a fence. I used my Spectra SE and 600 film for the shot. I have transferred this film between cameras (in a dark bag) and even opened the door up to check for film. It came out with a few light leaks and some uneven developing at the top. Not complaining it looks well different.. Thoughts on this one?

Pronto Sonar OneStep only ejects the darkslide and stops

Pronto Sonar OneStep only ejects the darkslide and stops, as the title says. I put in a cartridge that I've tested in another Polaroid; it ejects the darkslide, then I press the shutter button and hear a click, click. I assume it's the Sonar trying to focus? Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Sorry for the crappy video...

Job Pro2 - going wild!

I just received a Job Pro2. Without thinking, I excitedly grabbed a new pack of 600 and inserted it into the slot. As soon as I inserted it, the camera started ejecting the darkslide and the rest of the pack. I was able to yank the pack out after the 3rd print was ejected. Stupid me, I should have tried one of my MANY dummy packs first. I then inserted the dummy pack, and it did the same thing.

I can say this about those old Polaroid cameras, they're like a Lottery ticket, you're really excited to scratch the ticket, but the letdown when you don't win is a bummer.

When I open the door and look inside, I do not see any broken or corroded hardware or anything that's out of place. Any ideas on how I can get her to work?

Thanks again!

Spectra Procam not ejecting anything

I have a Procam and a PolaStudio adapter. I made sure the adapter batteries are fully charged. I put a new pack of 600 in the ProCam with the adapter, and the motor whirred for a second. I pressed the shutter button and the motor whirred again but the dark slide did not pop out.

I opened the camera, and it appears that the dark slide didn't move. I carefully bent the pickup arm down and tested again. Nope, nothing popped out, just the whirring of the motor.

I'm afraid to bend the pickup arm too far, but it doesn't seem to be pushing anything forward.

Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch!

Sonar OneStep stops

I have a Sonar OneStep that I purchased online. I have a test pack of exposed 600 film that I wanted to test out with. When I load the test pack, it ejects the first photo, but it will not eject any others when I press the shutter release. I've tried various cartridges, thinking it was a low-battery issue, but it still happens. During the first ejection, the print gets most of the way out, but I have to pull it the rest of the way.

Any ideas what is wrong?

Thanks!

I was gifted this OneStep Plus and I was wondering where I can find the plastic piece that covers the slot for the flash?
