MP120TC

Once you have your MP120TC printed and working, you're going to want to shoot some film with it.  Darkrooms used to be fairly common, and enlarging equipment was easy to get.  These days, not so much.  The easiest place to work with images from your MP120TC is in your computer, but scanners for 120 film are expensive.  Well, the DFS69 (DSLR Film Scanner 6x9) aims to fix that!  It's a 3D printable device that allows you to "scan" your film using a DSLR.  DSLR scanning is not new, and there are many options out there, but I offer this as another option.

​

• It's designed to be 3D printed on virtually any 3D printer, without supports and without heat-set threaded inserts.

• You can place it on top of a number of light sources, including inexpensive LED video lights or tablets.

• It can support any format:  35mm, 6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x8, and 6x9.  You just need to print the correct carrier and top plate for your format.

• It holds your film firmly (but not too firmly).  The top plate is held to the carrier using mini magnets, and the film rides in a 0.16mm deep channel.  That's roughly the same thickness as average roll film.  The film isn't squashed between the plates, but is held flat enough that depth of field can accommodate any residual film curl.

• The carrier assembly is positioned on the light spacer using 4 pins, so you can quickly and easily adjust your film position and dust it.

• The light has a mixing box and extra diffuser to provide even light for good density negatives.  For thin or low contrast images, a procedure is provided in the instructions for compensating for uneven lighting within Photoshop.

• It can easily be used with a different light source.  If you have a good light panel/box already, you can just print the spacer and the carriers you need.  Or, you can redesign the lighting base to use whatever light source you want.
