[nikonr10]

Those that are stuck with no films for single 8 cameras , There is now a 3D Printable Cartridge To Fit Fuji Single 8 Cameras ,
Big thank you Jenny . here's the link https://github.com/JennyList/Single-8-c ... me-ov-file

There’s one missing detail in these 3D models: The „noses“ that are used by some cameras to detect the film‘s sensitivity and that are used by all cameras to ease loading the film into the camera.
I wanted to add them to the models, but there was no „meterware“ film available when Jenny released her models. Now, Wittner is selling 60m S8 on cores again. But now, I don’t have time until late August.

New to Single 8 , Seems like a small detail , I waiting for my order , which is on the way from PRC , Still should work well with the ZC1000 , Jenny made some youtube videos + thats good new about Wittner selling 60m S8 on cores again.

Just very happy that jenny made a design for all to use for free . Which is very rare in this age ! In all fairness it was a design around the Fuji single 8 camera with Franks help at super8 lab NL . Heres the video on you tube .

Hi!

Single8 cartridges have three different ways to inform the camera about the film‘s sensitivity:

That’s how it looks like in the camera:
„Nose detection“:

„Arc detection“:

(There are some more images on Muddy‘s webpage from more cameras.)

That’s how it looks like at the cartridge:
The „noses“:

The „arc“ (red circle) and some „hole“ (yellow circle):

Jenny‘s design only takes care of the proper „arc“.

Just got my carts back from JLCPCB , very fast printing , came to around $60 with tax + shipping . On the whole very happy + big thank you to Jenny + Frank for making these cartridges available + also helping to keep the cost of using films down .

That’s great. How long did it take? And how easy is the loading?

[nikonr10]

One week to order / For now ,I have just given them a spray coat of black paint, To help make them light tight . Going on Jennys Video it's very easy to load .

All is working very well , very happy with my 3D Cartridge , very easy to load ,

Hi!

Did you already manage to shoot with the cartridges? If so: Did everything went well? Or did the film jam?
(I hope that everything is fine as I am thinking about ordering some of them as well…)

As I said the dummy test film work's fine , AS for loading with real film NO , Being short on the $$$$$$ as needed to get my beloved leica back to spec & after all theses years found a Iscorama 36 without having to pay them high ebay prices . So being side tracked for now .
