Old Camera Grips

Manufacturers of old cameras in the past did not think about ergonomics and often did not produce additional grips for their cameras, which were angular, heavy and uncomfortable to hold.

I came across the idea that I would start designing and printing 3D grips for popular models of old cameras.

For now, I have several versions for the Pentacon Six, Kiev 60, Yashica Electro 35 camera, but the grip can be designed for almost any camera model.

I design in Fusion 360 and then print 3D of PLA, WOOD, PET-G or ABS.

Step 1: Pentacon SIX WOOD

Grip for cameras PSIX after modification of the shutter tension with preview on the back. A film label remider has been added to back of the grip

Grip can be stained and varnished.
It smells of real wood (filament contains real wood particles). <3

PLA WOOD (layer: 0,20 mm; nozzle: 0,6 mm)

Step 2: Pentacon SIX Black

Grip for stock Pentacon SIX. Better improves ergonomics (you can hold this heavy camera with one hand).

The grip is made of durable material. It has additional reinforcements, a full base, which translates into maximum stiffness and increased mass.

PET-G or PLA (layer: 0,20 mm; nozzle: 0,4 mm)

Step 3: Yashica Electro 35 Black

Grip for Yashica Electro 35 (all versions).

PLA (layer: 0,15mm; nozzle: 0,4 mm)

Step 4: Modified Pentacon SIX Black

Grip for cameras PSIX after modification of the shutter tension with preview on the back. A film label remider has been added to back of the grip
