I recently took the plunge into medium format film photography and purchased a Mamiya RB67 with a broken focus rack and knob. I repaired it using CAD, a lathe and a 3D printer. I cloned the original focus knobs in CAD so anyone can 3D print replacements for their RB67.

The write up goes into how to disassemble the camera, straighten the brass focus pinion shaft and how to 3D print your own focus knob. In case anyone wants to 3D print their own knobs, .STL and .STEP files are included.
Let me know what you think. Thanks!
