<p>Hey, not everybody wants a homemade gun. So how about using that 3D printer you've borrowed to make your own home-brew point-and-shoot digital camera?</p><p>DIY portal Instructables now has directions to do just that, thanks to creator Randy Sarafan's plans including a downloadable template to print the body and RadioShack's mighty JPEG Color Camera Board to go inside. The final product would make a fine companion to the OpenReflex 3D-printable film SLR for those ready to go digital.</p><p>The process seems relatively approachable for anyone with moderate DIY skills:Download the template for the camera body from Instructables, modify as desired and feed into any 3D printer you can access.Take the shopping list besides that camera circuit board, you'll need an Arduino, an SD card assembly, a 9V power supply and various odds and ends to RadioShack and collect the parts.Assemble the case with a couple of bolts, solder the electronics together and situate as instructed.Program the Arduino using the code included in the instructions.</p><p>Viola! You're done. Give it a couple of hours, and you'll have a digicam with stunning full-VGA resolution, authentic light leaks and other aberrations that should have Instagram filter fools drooling not to mention a fine story to tell.</p><p><a href="http://petapixel.com/2013/09/18/build-ps-3d-printer-radio-shack-parts/">Keep reading...</a></p>
