I wanted the film to be wound “the right way” so the film is better protected from light after exposure and to increase the tensioning of the film. I modified the files so that the ratchet mechanism now turns anticlockwise. I also modified the size  of the spring arm on the ratchet to apply a bit more force to minimize backlash on the gear.

I printed everything in PETG. The ratchet and gear are printed with a 0.2 mm nozzle with 100% infill for the ratched and 50% for the gear. 

The cold shoe needs to be glued into its slot on the lid, it should be a tight fit even without the glue. I used CA glue.

I give no gurantees for the rigidity of the strap lugs! They are an afterthought.
