3D printed baseplate, customized.

On today’s episode of Definitely Unemployed and Probably Autistic: my Bolex camera has an awkward little spindle of a base so it doesn’t sit nice on a table and also spins on a tripod. So I made a custom baseplate for it, including dual 1/4-20 mounting holes for a quick release plate, multiple 1/4-20 mounting points, and a single 5/8 rod holder with thumb screw to lock it in place.

The original body is from sixteenmillimeter.com, but I changed it pretty heavily to fit my needs. All the added mounting inlays were me too. Thought it turned out pretty nice.

Help winding crank came out.

Hi everyone,

The winding/rewind crank assembly on my Bolex H8 Reflex accidentally came out completely. The shaft is still attached to the crank and doesn’t appear broken, but I can’t get it seated back properly.
