Camera uses standard 35mm film with cassettes and frame format up to 65x24mm. At current state there is only 35mm pinhole lens cone, but others can be easily made.

Assembly:
1  - glue film gate bridge in place, glue take up spool together, insert knobs and glue their light guards in place
2 - glue 2 pieces of 2mm foam onto back of pressure plate
3 - make pinhole and attach it to lens cone
4 - make sure lens cap fits and at the same time can be easily removed (sanding might be needed)
5 - insert lens cone into body, insert chosen frame mask into body

Loading:
Cut film leader square, insert it into spool and tape in place.
Insert pressure plate and close the camera (can be bit tricky at first).

Shooting:
After loading fresh film its important to advance 3 full turns.
After exposing 36x24mm frame advance film 1 full and 1 quarter of a turn (5/4 of a turn).
After exposing 65x24mm frame advance film 2 full turns.

Notes:
- Current design is very light tight from my testing (printed from matt PLA+, 2 perimeter walls, 3 full layers top and bottom, 0,2mm layer height)
- Pressure plate foam can probably be replaced with some other material
- There are 4 holes for 2mm x 7mm magnets meant for holding camera together, from my testing they are not needed (but others might have different experience)
- Thread hole for tripod is fully functional but be careful with tightening
- Example photos were taken with 0,2mm pinhole and 35mm lens cone on Fomapan 100
