Last year, we were blown away by student Léo Marius’ invention of OpenReflex, the world’s first DIY 3D printed SLR. Fully functional and OpenSource, this old school camera was not only easy to assemble, but was also incredibly affordable at just $30 a pop. While Marius put the instructions online for free for all to use, he’s now returned to the drawing board with a crowdfunding campaign to improve the design of his OpenSource camera to make it even easier to build and use. Marius promises that the project will stay OpenSource and hopes the campaign will help facilitate the growth of a makers community around the OpenReflex design.
