DIY Photography: Personalizing My Bags With Killer Zippers
I wanted to have an overhead pole over the work table, where I can hang things like safety equipment and painted stuff. I also added a simple camera mount there so I can take photos and video from the top-down perspective. 3MF files for the 3D printed parts can be downloaded here. They are made...
When one of my zipper pull broke, I thought, “well, that’s not a big deal. I will just add some paracord to replace it”. I like the saying from Mythbusters: “If it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing”, so just adding paracord was not an option. I wanted to personalize my pull and add...
I have been longing for a long sword for a long time, just to display it on my wall. I will be using it as a prop in some photoshoots too. Cross-guard of the sword has two loops in it, so I thought I could use towel hooks to hang it on the wall. It...
I already have cable relief for the camera and wanted to do something similar for the laptop.
I broke the remote control port from my D800 years ago. For D850, I wanted a cable relief to keep my ports intact. For the GFX-50s, I wanted something similar too. It has the battery compartment in a weird place, and the only L-plate I could find that allows easy battery change was Arca-Swiss Classic...
DIY Photography: How i made a diy remote on a pole adapter for operating both camera and light on my ownPetapixel: How I Attached a Camera Remote to a Handheld Light Pole
I saw a project on youtube that used a neon-like led strip. It looked so interesting that I searched for more. The projects that I found used CNC carved channels for the led strip. Since I don’t own or have access to CNC, I used a 3D printer. For the final touch, I used wifi...
I ripped off the legs of an old light stand, so it’s just a handheld pole with the light. I also want to use the camera remote control when holding the light. That way, I can operate my camera on a tripod when I don’t have an assistant. The STL file for the remote holder...
I wanted to give a handmade wallet as a Christmas gift. I could not find a template that I was entirely happy with, so I took pieces from here and there and designed my template. It’s a minimalist wallet with two card slots and a pocket in the middle for some cash. You can download...
I wanted to stamp custom logos to leather. I needed it for hobby use, so metal stamps are out of the question. I 3D printed one for a test and, those seem to work very well. They are fast and easy to make too. I made a coaster with my logo for myself. The wallet...
I bought some Skådis boards from Ikea and designed my own system for the tools. All the parts are 3D printed which makes it easy to update and make more as needed. Some shelves needed text which is simply printed in adhesive A4 paper (SVG here). Generic 3mf files can be found here and Fusion...
For this image, I made a thin PVC pipe to look like a bigger pipe using paints and 3D printed bolt rings. The shit just keeps on coming. It’s poured on you day after day. Like an endless diarrhoea keeping you down on your knees.
Another image with 1:6 scale prop. This time XPS foam chair. Nails are real old nails and the helmet is a kitchen bowl. Conduits are a shower hose attached with a magnet to the bowl. I am starting to like this combination of 1:1 and 1:6 size props and how well they fit together. Those...
I got the inspiration for a guillotine from a drawing that I cannot find anymore. I sketched this idea into my book more than half a year ago. Guillotine fitted perfectly to the words I had in mind and to this series. It was also perfect build as a 1:6 model. It’s a combination of...
DIY Photography: How I Built a Diy Gobo Projector for Under $30 Petapixel: How I Made a DIY Gobo Holder for Studio Strobes 3DPrint.com: 3D Printed GOBO Projector Holder and Adapter Made by Award-Winning Finnish Photographer
DIY GOBO HOLDER I wanted a device that can throw light patterns onto a wall or a model. There are some commercially available but they are quite expensive and I this was only for occasional use. I thought that this is something that can be 3D printed. I bought Bowens mounting ring and cheap macro...
Petapixel: How I Turned an E-cigarette Into a Tiny Smoke Machine for Photo Shoots DIY Photography: How I made a tiny smoke machine from an electric cigarette ISO1200: How to Make a Tiny DIY Smoke Machine
We have had this ugly air vent in our WC for years. I knew that when I get the 3D printer I have to do something to it. Since this is only a decorative piece and it does not have to protect anything and you can print pretty much any shape I was able to...
The Plan I have used an electric cigarette as a small smoke machine. My first version was bit and pieces glued together but that wasn’t very robust and broke. Now that I have a 3D printer I wanted to revisit this project and make it properly. Smokers can suck smoke to their lungs and blow...
