35mm Film Leader Retriever

thingiverse

First of all: Sorry for the really bad quality of the images! Don't know why Thingiverse reduces the quality like that. But the image quality will be better if you enlarge the images with the button in the top right corner of the picture! I saw this as a fun project to design and print my own 35mm film leader retriever. I think it works pretty well after a bit of practice. A little bit finicky to use but it does the job. Print it in the orientation shown in the pictures, with supports on the middle piece (Film_Leader_Retriever) WHAT YOU NEED: - The printed parts: - 2x Slider - 1x Film_Leader_Retriever - 1x Film_Leader_Retriever_2 - Other: - Superglue - 2 strips of film roughly 12cm long If you are wondering what a film leader retriever is and what it's used for, you can take a look at the linked video below.
