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.

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

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

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!

I would go with wood filament.
