Hi, any updates on this? I just found my 1983 Kodamatic 940 and one empty cartridge. Hoping to not have to throw it away.

Where do you find the cartridges? I have a Colorburst 50

Omg, I was just watching your old videos, I am surprised to see such a big update so many years later, thank you!

dude thanks

Does it work for a Kodak ek-4? Thanks for the video

Won’t Instax Wide film will fit in the cartridge?

Which city skyline is that?

Its been 7 years has there been a update?

how do you get cartridge open i have got an ek100

I solved this issue today and now I am snapping pics like I did back in the 70's! All I had to do was jump in my DeLorean that Doc Brown gave me. I set my time machine for 1985 I drove the DeLorean to the K Mart store and bought a whole cart full of film cartridges that just happen to be on a Blue Light Special! How did I get so lucky? 1985 was the year they stopped production of the film due to the loss in court to Polaroid. So Kmart was practically giving the stuff away. So glad I still have my Colorburst from all those years ago.

Could I just slide the film into the corner for the pick arm to catch instead? I feel like I could glue in a border to hold the smaller film in place

Do you sell or have you tried selling the cartridges you made?

This seems like an awful lot of work to have to do every time you get a new pack of film, when you can just buy the camera that the film is made for. I value my time too much to do this.

Unfortunately also in the model whit the crank the battery is used to open and close shutter and to make work the photocell;no battery no photos;not are manual cameras like Polaroid 180 that work totally whit no battery like old 110 b pathfinder roll film cameras

In the past I bought a Kodak instant camera whit 2 very rare trim print special film;one pack exposed and another open but not exposed,probably both whit solidified pods of chemical for development;I put in the trash this camera because was a camera for iso 160 original film not for iso 300 trim print and because special 6 v battery very flat is very rare to find;exactly like Polaroid pack film camera post 1976 used normally modern batteries aa size vs old 500 series battery in the same way 80 s Kodak instant cameras like kodamatic use normal size aa batteries vs old 70 s Kodak instant cameras use very rare at time type of battery that nowadays is Semi discontinued;I can t buy from Canada at gig prices battery for film that 99% will be totally unusable for dry solidified chemical;time ago before that I buy old 70 s cameras in another real store was a kodamatic 940 but at time I never bought it because no Film was available in the store

Will try this with my mom's old EK260-EF for sure!

If only I had an empty cartridge :,( would an empty cartridge from a 600 polaroid camera work…? I assume not the sizes are probably different but I don’t know for sure

Wish there was another update

My Dad just gave me an EK6 thinking it could be worth something in a vintage sense. I'm not disappointed that its basically worthless, but saddened that he hung on to it and assumed it was valuable this whole time. I will keep it as an heirloom. Kind of want to use it but I don't know anything about these old cameras and based on this video, more complicated than I'm willing to invest in.

Can i please have the file for the insert 🥺

I just purchased a Kodamatic 960 and will definitely be experimenting with it. Thanks for the videos! It gave me some ideas

I need the adapter or the film to print it can you help me

May be you can help me about this issue with your experience with the old Kodak instant camera I have just bought 3 Color burst Kodak cameras and after shot one photo in the next shot the motor of the camera don't stop. Do you know why? Trying to figure out why my motor is always running? Do you know where I can resend this email? Regards jmsabate

Cool. Going through some storage I found my old Kodak Colorburst 100 camera. Fortunately, there was an empty cartridge in it. The battery was stuck and I had to carefully pry it out, but it looks good inside. Ordering a battery to see if it comes to life OK and the motor works. If so, I will give this a try. Just not sure how you are getting the film into the cartridge, I guess I'll figure it out. Interesting.

So I cant use this tips If I dont already have negatives?

Polaroid sued Kodak, yet those Kodak pics looked better than plain-ass polaroids...and they knew it, too! Kodak had them shook! 😅

Old vid I know but has anyone found a solution to the chemicals bursting out onto the film.

THANKKKK YOOUUU SOOO MUCHHHH

i tried this and i did everything correctly but all the photos are just coming out white? anyone know why?

I’m having trouble. I do everything right but the photo remains white??

Hey how did you found the batteries for it? :/

I’d love one of those 3D printed cartridge holders for my SX-70. Do you think maybe it would be better to try with instax square film since it’s a bit wider which means the white pick arm doesn’t have to be as long? And I also just realised the pick arm is on the opposite side isn’t it lmao.

can we get the 3D stl files?

You convinced me. I just bought a Kodak 960L (folding Kodamatic instant camera) and a double pack of HS144-10 (the "high speed" film, one stop faster than the original PR-10, matches the camera) on eBay. I'm pretty sure I can at least get Instax Square to fit, probably Instax Wide (print size is close to the peel-off part of the Trimprint film i bought). By hook or by crook, I'll get it to work. Ideally, I'd like to 3D print an adapter insert to just plug the Instax pack into the Kodak camera, but the sheet inserts would be acceptable...

Ohhh... necesito subtítulos en español... qué material es el que recorta y usa?

Bro can i see your schematic? Because If I install a sensor on a pin, the oled LCD doesn't work, but if the pin sensor is unpluged, the oled LCD works well

It’s not working for me. Idk what I’m doing wrong

Can you use the squares?

Great video! Both methods you tried are very smart. Love having such a DIY community in photography

Hey, could you share the STL files for the conversion adapters you made? I want to maybe see if I can design a workaround

How do you find a used cartridge? I can’t find one and have no clue how to get past this issue

Will this work with the colorburst?

I just bought a Kodak Colorburst 50 still in the box, the batteries were easy to find and I have tonnes of instax film for my mini 8, can't wait to try this.

i recently aquiered a HANDLE kodak film camera and with some research realized there was no point lol. i'm on the hunt right now for a cartridge, but i'm glad that once i find that i'll be able to use it, so thank you

Exiting work! Do you have link to the 3d file? This could definitely work with some tweaking.

I hope your still working on this! I just got a Kodak instant and would love to use it

I would really like to know if there's any way that you could use integral film in a pack film camera🙏🏼🥺
