The old "leather" was falling of my polaroid sx-70 camera. So I printed some new skins.

I'm not sure about the colour yet. Thinking more about some kind of red or turquoise. But the test worked.

I'd go with the reddish-brown of the original leather-ish material.

That’s the strangest camera I’ve ever seen.

My pre caffeine brain though this was chocolate

For the texture/pattern around the edges where the squares are cut off; I would either remove them or taper them down towards the edges, so they are less likely to catch and eventually pull away.

Otherwise, this is a very cool idea that I'd like to see updates on!

Nice !

I would go with wood filament.
