Have you got any tips for making the trays? I've been trying to make one for an MF-2 for a while but I'm hopeless with the 3D models and designing 🤦🏻‍♂️

I measured up and drew the outline, ready to use https://www.tooltrace.ai/ but I can never quite get it right

I can make an MF-2 tray pretty quickly. I played with tooltrace and similar but they only created flat outlines and a sculpted round one is better for this application of lenses and strobes.

These are easy as you just make a stack of appropriately sized cylinders to model the object. Then you save that model. Make a gridfinity tray of the needed size using a parametric modeler, fully filled to the brim. Import the object model as a negative modifier and position in the tray. Done!

    Hello everyone, Since my used Nauticam WWL-1 lens didn't come with a back cap, I made a suitable one. It also works for the bayonet mount. I hope someone can use this. https://makerworld.com/en/mo

    Hello everyone, Over the last few weeks I have created new parts for underwater photography for the 3D printer, perhaps one or two of you can use some of them. This time they are parts that are i

20 minutes to design. 3.5 hours to print it out! Will share it out after it's validated.

I needed one of these anyways, will also be making cutouts for the HF-1 and Atom too, if they will fit in my drawer. The lens cutouts were a start on cleaning out a chaotic cabinet full of gear and getting things into the drawers currently full of random plumbing and electrical parts.

    That looks great! I'd been trying to design it with the ball mount parallel to the base.....but your design made me realise it can just stick up and still fit in the drawer, and that means it's a smaller footprint for the grids too! And the buttons having their own holes will stop it rotating in the holder.

    What do you use for the modelling? I need to learn how to do the basics and get my drawer tidied up 😁
