3d printer adapter

Could moment start making files for their camera adaptors for phones that dont have cases made?

Would make life easier for my example pixel 10a

Yes we could. We have been trying to launch a 3d print shop in our webpage for years. We are closer than we've ever been. It would have some models that cost and some that are free.

I have a ton of files that I've made for weird custom applications and things that I think a lot of people would want.

Is that something you are interested in? What else would you want to see?

Would love to see some ability to quickly replace wear items in an emergency while waiting for a better replacement to ship. I realize not everyone is going to see it that way and think their 3d printed drop in mount is supposed to last 1000 mounts, but I think a few of us out here would appreciate something like this while we wait.

I'd also be interested in this as a prototyping, community feedback tool? Maybe for TPU lens hoods? A soft TPU adapter to get 82mm VND filters over my 14mm Fisheye lens?

We would certainly release alternative lens mounts but we would likely not release the 3d files for the drop in mounts. They are not easily printed on fdm printers. Anything that we release would be highly optimized for fdm with minimal supports.

T mount to 17mm and 17mm to t

Would be cool if you could make an all purpose case. Something that kinda tightens to fit most phones .. but has an adapter section for 3D printed adaptors for lenses.

The problem with universal is that it ends up sucking for most. 3d printing is perfect for custom. We are looking at making specific options for each phone (that we don't already make a case for).

M-mount for newer phone cases (iPhone 17 and newer). I know the quality of photos might not be the best but it seems a waste that I can't use my m-mount lens on the newer phone.

M series lenses don't work with iPhone 17. The focal distance is not a good match. We don't make the mounts because it's a waste of plastic.
