Greg Kubik Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 After a few days of searching the internet and making phone calls it has been painfully difficult to locate camera body "port caps" for ENG B4 (2/3") cameras. This is the cap that covers the sensor so a pretty important part. Sony's glorious parts department seems to think I'm speaking a different language even though I have given them the part number. Can anyone please help me find these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Chang Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 A last ditch option could be to measure up your camera and design and print your own custom lens cap with a 3D printer (the plastic seems to have just the right stiffness-flexibility for lens/body caps). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Millar Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm brushing up on Solidoworks skills (3D CAD) at the moment - cant imagine it being that complex, so if you send me the specs of the cap I can prob upload an .stl somewhere (3D printer file).

Gregg MacPherson Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Chris, Tried to send you a dwg that will make it easy to spec a cap for the snot printer. Give me a direct email and I will attach that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg MacPherson Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Sorry, my dwg was not a B4 mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
