Hopefully this is still a place to share ideas....

While this isn't about taking an image (may share those eventually), I'm starting to explore things in the new to me ecosystem via another hobby...

So to help facilitate the process, I'm making an x-mount to PD capture plate part so I can use it to temporarily hold one lens while I swap to another.  I typically have two capture plates, one on say the camera bag or strap, and another on my belt.  I can snap this into the one on my belt, so I can unmount a lens, temporarily place it on this, get the other lens mounted, then store away the one I removed.  Planning on 3D printing a few prototypes to see how well it works in practice.  I have a few ideas on making it easier to swap primes on the go, as well as pack them in a bag.  Of course, if you're into 3D printing I'm happy to share the files....
