The Grind, The Hell Layer, The Breakthrough
I am a little behind on the blog post yet again, but hopefully I'll be able to go through what I have encountered in the past 2 weeks of nonstop grinding, rendering the hell layer, and the breakthrough.
The Grind.
So, in terms of work flow, I measure everything out by hand and keep them on a piece of paper as like notes and references to look at as I'm rendering each components. Also by doing this, it's reducing time measuring each hole or component again for the later parts.
Though it's easy to measure each side of it, there was one particular part that was an anomaly, thus it took an extra amount of time than usual. And here is the piece that caused the most troubles and the most amount of time rendering to accuracy.
The Hell Layer.
I present you a piece from the hell layer.
Why do you ask the name of it?
Well, This section of the camera literally consists of springs, gears, and weird organic shapes that at first look simple like the image on top but its really not. The component above, sadly, only 3 perfectly horizontal lines and only 1 vertical line. And the rest are literal circles, arcs, and slants.
Also because when I popped open the cover, it was a literal bomb and i had springs flying left and right, but we're good now.
But what makes things even worse is that because there's a limited amount of known variables and a bucketload of unknown variables, I had an intense amount of time just trying to triangulate points.
But here's some finalized parts from the hell layer. But this is just a good 70% of what I have rendered, and I have another layer to go and I should be completed with the hell layer.
Photos of the other components that I've done so far. Just a lot of meticulous measuring and just doing alot of problem solving with most of the pieces.

The Breakthrough.
There were 3 points of problems that I had with this camera when disassembling. The Film Lever Section, The Hell Layer, and the Film Recall Lever.
The Hell Layer, as mentioned before, is just a load of small springs, gears, and organic metal plates.
The Film Lever Section, The issues was trying to find the screw that held the entire shaft together. And also there's a specific spot underneath a plate that had too many unknown variables, like knowing how many gears were underneath, the size of the gears. etc.
The Film Recall Lever, again mentioned from the last blog, just how the top casing is being held on by 2 little annoying screws. And just having to render things underneath is going to be difficult.
But Luckily, The Hell Layer is almost done, and I finally was able to disassemble the film lever section and it brought so much relief and joy.
