Why buy a film canister when I can design and print one? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I needed some film canisters for 120 film and turns out they're actually hard to find.

And when I did find models for them they had super thin caps so I decided to model one up with a better (IMO) method for securing the cap than threads.

Here's a link for those that want to check it out.

I also made a version for 116 film that's also in the link above.

Also if anyone has a roll of 220 film they could snag the dims of for me that would be great.

I guess empty ones are hard to find - but some manufacturers (like Foma) are selling their films in them. In other news, I'm drowning in those things.

I didn't know some manufacturers do that, that's pretty cool

I wish more would do that lol
