3D Printing

When repairing vintage cameras, I often use a 3D printer to design and fabricate replacement parts that are otherwise unavailable. Even after all this time, the intricate movements and precision of this machine fascinates me. I was printing a tiny 5mm wide hollow bushing for a camera I was servicing. I sat watching the printer form the part, layer by layer. I suddenly thought … “I need to photograph this because it’s something many have never seen!” I grabbed a camera and captured this image in the final seconds, just as the hot end of the printer withdrew from the finished print.
