In a previous episode, Clem has built a proof of concept to convert a Super 8 film camera into a digital camcorder without any modifications to the camera itself. Many of you asked for a Kit or if a digital drop-in Film Cartridge replacement was possible! Finally, Clem has the chance to revisit the project and uses the New Raspberry PI compute Module 4 and the HQ camera module to build a crazy compact cartridge that is a major stepping stone towards a real product! And during the project, he even had to start his own 3D printer Resin brand just to obtain a material that is up to the task for this project!

Thanks for asking.
I call it "MAYER MAKES Engineering Resin".
In my quick iterations I often use resin prints that I oversize and…
Material science, mechanical, optical, electronic, and power challenges. That is really Impressive work on an interesting and super challenging project.
That's an incredible packaging accomplishment - great electromechanical design (plus the optical path). Makes me want to try a resin printer
.
It seems like trying to get that much power into an unmodified…
