This is a work in progress and I am posting it in case anyone wants to join me on this little journey of learning how to design a camera body. I cannot promise correct FFD, I am still learning and have not yet developed a roll of film.
It appears to be light tight, but still is missing several features that I plan to add in future revisions - just wanted to post so I can track my progress. Next thing I plan to tackle is a locking latch mechanism for the door.
The entire project uses M2 screws. I will confirm sizes once I finish this roll of HP5 I slapped in here. I believe the lens uses 2 M2x6, the knobs also use this, but I put a dab of super glue to hold ever thing in - I plan to change this to an angular shape down the road to prevent things loosening as you wind. The button is a bit of a pain, but currently I put an M3 waster above the hole and slap a M2x8 into the through the bottom so the threads are facing the top of the camera, and the button winds into the threads.
The button should be installed before the lens, it's a pain in the butt to get screwed in, so be prepared.
The lens will require a thin precision set. If you use something with changeable bits, you will likely run into problems.
Tighten the screws and check against a light source from the interior for leaks, press the lens into the hole firmly if you see any leaks and retighten if it “popped” into place. I made it SUPER tight tolerance.
Please only print this if you are going to accept that you may waste film. Please wait for me to finish this roll I have in here, or don't, if you want to join me for the ride and give me feedback LETS PARTY!
Lomo Smena 8m, specifically the T43 was chosen because it has a leaf shutter, multiple speeds, including blub. The glass has a cool vintage vibe and honestly is a sleeper. It was the most widely produced camera in the world at one point if I'm not mistaken, so they're abundant. Check ebay, you can get them cheap.
Edit March 10, 2026: Cool, as seen on hackaday! https://hackaday.com/2026/02/06/its-not-a-lomo-smena-8m-but-its-not-far-off/
With that out of the way... I have made several revisions, and will be posting those soon. I had issues with my shutters failing on me, but I've repaired them and I'm back to working on the project. I have also been having issues with flange distance, but I am hoping to "finalize" the project in the next few months here. I say it like that because I have future plans to add quality of life features, but they are unnecessary for a working camera body.
