Paillard Bolex 16 mm Camera Model
The Paillard Bolex 16mm camera is a Swiss-made film camera, introduced in 1935. I first used this camera in my high school film class, the only high school in the country to use 16mm film. This camera does not include any electrical components, but rather is powered by a spring-wound clockwork system.
I designed the model on the CAD software Onshape at the same scale of the actual camera.
The model was printed on a Bambu Lab P1S printer in black and silver PLA. The backside can be opened and uses a magnet to remain shut. The front lens is removable and can be swapped out for other model lenses with different focal lengths, just as is done in the actual Bolex camera.
