Hello,

On request we are working on fabricating new sprocket shoes for the EIKI film projectors.

Here a picture of the first prototype. It is working well and soon it will be available for sale on our webshop!

 -

The prototype is now in blue. We we can make it in any colour. Propably most people want it black (as the original ones), I think?

p.s. There has been published an article about the 3D printing we do for film projectors in the Dutch Magazine "Digital Video". For a link to this article, see: http://www.van-eck.net/reparaties-projector.php?lang=en&size=0

Kind Regards,
Edwin van Eck, Van Eck Video Services.

Thank you.

We have tested in there and it works fine. Also let me know what your expreriences are with part and if you have suggestions for improvements.

Use all EIKI 16mm projectors these same sprocket SHOES? Or are there also other versions of this procket shoe?

THis is very good news! We are very confident in the material used for the 3D printing, and this strengthens this even further!

We are working now on several film guides, to prevent scratching and to preserve our precious films. Now working on e.g. guides for Elmo ST-1200HD, among others.
