Description
The Film Stock Reminder/Display is a compact, practical accessory designed for photographers who prefer shooting with manual film cameras. This device easily mounts to the camera's hot shoe and provides a clear, visible reminder of the current film stock loaded in the camera. Featuring a small, easily readable window to a printed card, it shows essential information such as the film type with the ISO, color, or black & white. The display can be customized to suit various film formats, offering a quick glance for the photographer to ensure the right film settings are used throughout the shoot. It’s an ideal tool for reducing errors, staying organized, and keeping track of film rolls without needing to open the camera or consult a notebook.
Inspired by Welmee's design here but I found the tolerances too tight plus I wanted it printed in one piece. I redesigned the full thing in Shapr3D.

I've linked their printable pdf templates. I highly recommend printing these on a glossy photo paper for a rich colour.
