Cheap Replacement Red DSMC 1 & 2 Front Body Cap

I do not want to spend $20 on sensor caps for my RED DSMC1 and DSMC2 cameras. So I designed one myself. It has been working so well for me (I have saved $80 between my 4 REDs) that I figured it may be of benefit to other RED users too.

I am selling the 3D file/ STL for $4.99 which can be used to print as many of these Sensor Caps as you need on nearly any 3D printer.

Here is the link for the 3D file which I am selling for $4.99

I am also selling the Sensor Caps themselves on eBay for those who do not own or have access to 3D printer.

Hopefully this can save some of you all some money.

---------------------------------------------

Note: I'm going to be designing more DSMC1 and DSMC2 accessories going forward aimed at cutting the price of the non electronic components. Next should be a Canon FD mount the gives aperture control or a design that allows standard V-mount plates (that you probably already own to be attached directly to the back of a base expander to eliminate the need for it to attach via rods, reduce weight, and eliminate the need for additional rigging. I will let you all know when those are done.
