Are there any 3d Printed 6X17 cameras (non pinhole)

I've seen 6x9 and 6X12 but haven't really seen something for 6X17 format except for pinhole cameras.

The Malefic wares cameras were available for a while but now seem to have been discontinued. I tried to order one a while ago but had a confusion about lens compatibility which I didn't resolve so ended up without the camera.

Oh yes they are the first that come up on search, I contacted them but they are no longer selling their cameras or even STL files.

Malefic is the only one producing 3D printed 6x17 cameras - when they resume. There are plenty of all metal options too of course.

I had thought Malefic wares are closed for the time being.

Temporarily yes. They have posted that they plan to resume. Unfortunately that doesn't help OP right now, but might be an option for them in the near future.

Or maybe they can keep an eye out for a Malefic on eBay and create an alert...

Malefic and Kraken seem to be the two main players in this game. There are other options that are not 3d-printed, but worth mentioning in this context, such as the TwoFourths kit camera and a couple of build-from-plans options. All of these require that you supply your own lens, shutter, helicoid, level, and viewfinder. I understand viewfinders can be improvised from door peep-holes, among other things.

It appears the malefic is back in business.

Very well designed camera, and the finish looks great. I know you still need to buy a 5x7 lens and shutter, which can't be cheap, but it looks like a low budget way to start shooting panoramas.

Wow, thats not a bad price at all.....if I can just find a 5x7 enlarger.

Now if only my 4x5 enlarger could print 17cm across then I’d be in business!

edit: Side note, I don’t see the files to buy, just the finished cameras. Am I missing anything?
