Looking around I can't find anything else that resembles this project! I've seen some interesting printed cameras, film camera bodies, all sorts of things. However I haven't seen this project before. I think it's a good one.
In this video I go over my process of making a Medium Format Digital Rangefinder. The base camera is a Mamiya Super 23, the digital back I'm using is a Mamiya/Phase one mount Aptus 22.
The project is very DIY-ee. Involved 3D printing, a bit of metal forming, a lot of hope.
The end result though, its a fully functional Medium Format Digital Rangefinder, focus patch is aligned, photos can be taken! It's just a tad big.
I reference my video on my buying experience on MPB the link is below. Originally I had wanted a have a more modern Digital Back on here to assist with some quality of life stuff such as RF calibration.

At any rate this specific video is NOT a guide, and I take no responsibility for any damage to anyone's equipment if there is any attempt to replicate the project.
I invite people though to ask away if interested in doing something similar! I'll help out where I can!
