The Pen series of film SLRs does not have a built in accessory shoe, and the official accessory to add one is hard to find at a reasonable price. 

I've been selling these parts on Etsy and Ebay for a while, but I thought it was finally time to make the design free to download for people who want to print their own. 

There are two versions of this part because the original Pen F and the later Pen FT/FV cameras have slightly different viewfinders. The F version is slightly slimmer than the FT version.

They should be around 1.65mm for the FT/FV and 1.42mm for the F. The tolerances to get a tight fit are the trickiest part of the print. Be careful when test fitting, you can break your viewfinder with a too-thick part!  

Here's the orientation I use, along with paint on snug supports:

I print mine with solid infill for maximum strength, and in PCTG/PETG. Probably not necessary considering there's not much load on them when in use.

If you'd like me to print one of these for you, my ebay store can be found here, etsy here, and website here.

Enjoy!
