clickable shutter button, which makes sound (based on great fidget from @kriswillcode)
swivel mode dial wheel (with some tension)
see through hole (simulates viewfinder very well, you can see above lens nicely)
hangers for classic camera straps
great toy, my son loves it
Dimensions info:
default 100% scale = about 80% of real camera size
if you want real size, scale the model to 125%
I decided to the smaller model because of working tolerances, which will still work on upscaled models (probably with using glue on parts, where there is not that much friction anymore)
also smaller model is great for my 3yo kid, and his smaller hands
Parts + print info:
Main big objects
camera body:
support is recommended for lens hole (see 3mf)
0.2mm layers in general, variable layer height with thinner layers (sample in 3mf) for upper body parts is useful
some parts reinforced in 3mf
lens(es):
no supports, inner brim
0.2mm layers in general, slight modification for thread (see 3mf) via variable layer height)
camera body threaded insert
no supports, no brim
you will need this to be inserted into camera body (via hole in the bottom)
note: thread is not symmetric, the bigger hole should be aiming the outside - close to the lens
reason: so the thread is printed horizontally
0.2mm layers
Accessory parts
dial swivel wheel
consists of 2 parts
wheel (used variable layer height for nicer wheel results)
round rod (tiny part, designed to make some tension inside. If it is too tight, downscale this part)
0.2mm layers
no support
clickable shutter (producing click sound)
inner mechanism - multiple parts
I have published this as separate model, as it is standalone device which can be reused in other models
so please download & print the “button-ALL_0.2mm_PLA _MK3S_44m.gcode” or 3mf fromhere
camera surface cap
print in the same color as camera body
it matches the surface curvature of the camera
variable layer height for thin layers on visible parts
tiny support needed
shutter button cap
attachable to inner switch mechanism
variable layer height for thin upper layers
if the connection is too loose, just glue it, if too tight, scale this part up (or ask me, i will upload the same capu with different hole)
note: orientate it based on the surface!
no support
Assembly:
In general:
if any connection
that should be tight is too loose for you, glue it, or place thin tape on it and try it with that
that should be loose, but it is too tight, scale this tiny part down and print again (like the shaft for swivel wheel or shutter button cap)
Swivel wheel:
put the round rod inside, the cube must be outside
probably use pliers, to be able to put it inside (by grabbing the 2 parts together), you may use some force
then just attach wheel on the cube
try rotating the wheel, it should be slightly tight, from the beginning it may be tigter, but after some time, it will be smoother
you should be able to remove the rod from inside with pliers, if needed
you can glue the wheel on the rod
Clickable shutter:
for the inner mechanism - see linked model
while you have it still outside - try to put there button cap and surface cover, remember the cap needs to copy the surface
insert whole mechanism inside (check orientation on the photo!)
put there surface cover aswell
and finally attach button cap, if it is too loose, glue it on the inner mechanism
That's it, happy photo shooting :)

Camera model:
original camera model downloaed from “Weicheng Jin” page on https://grabcad.com/, where he states, the model is from author “Rhino”
i have made transformation into STL, fixing all the problems in the model and adjusted everything to be perfectly prinable without supports
