[rollei_list] Re: plastic eveready case prototyping

Greg,
I think it's a great idea!
Here's a link to a fellow making a Kydex plastic holster for his  handgun.  
The plastic material appears to form very easily using basic shop  tools and 
heat.  Inside could be covered with a thin layer of fabric,  neoprene, etc to 
cushion the camera body.  Perhaps contact cement would  work for that...?
Anyway, here's the link: _http://www.steyrclub.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2602_

Keep the ideas coming!
Health, Peace

Hi,


I just had an idea the past instant:


There  are now websites where one can send 3D shapefiles for 3D printing. 
Current 3D  printing material become more and more performant. I was wondering 
if 
it was  not possible to design an eveready case in plastic, quite similar to 
the  leather one, but modern, with some features I'm thinking of, such as 
better  front protection and another way to put it on and remove it. I'm 
thinking 
of  it and will try to have a clearer idea of the thing. 


Maybe  the thing could be just a shell in which the camera is protected from 
tear and  wear and dings, without being completely covering the camera. Still 
don't no  precisely, but this could be interesting to draw and try.


What do  you think?


All the  best,


Greg
