Comment on Why buy a film canister when I can design and print one?

smart!
the only thing I’d worry about is 3d prints not being actually sealed. the layer lines are never airtight and always allow air and thus moisture to leak past them unless a lacquer sealant is applied. so this won’t keep film very fresh for a very long time but would work great for transport!

Yeah it’s definitely not for long term storage, it’s primarily for something to put the film in after it’s been exposed before I can get it developed and added protection during shipping.
Ideally they spend less than a month in the tubes before getting developed though.
Fun little fact about 120 film: it’s just paper on the outside of roll between the film and the outside world. It basically has an IP rating of “lol” after it’s been taken out of the foil.
I’m planning on making some more 120 film accessories as I dive more into it, because it’s kinda niche and I’d love to make the accessories for it have a lower barrier of entry.
