Tenorhorn mouthpiece adapter

Adapter for my tenorhorn mouthpiece.

The previous owner of my tenorhorn had the leadpipe replaced with one from a bigger instrument, and now a standard tenorhorn mouthpiece does not fit on it without teflon tape (wtf were they thinking...).

So when I decided to learn how to make 3D-models, a mouthpiece-adapter was one of the first things that came to mind.

It might not fit, since I can't take proper measurements from either the leadpipe or the mouthpiece, but at least I'm learning how to model stuff.

                                            <p>In 1985, Minolta became the first company to produce a body-driven autofocus 35mm SLR -- the Maxxum 7000 -- and with it, the new A (also called Alpha or AF, replacing the incompatible manual-focus SR/MC/MD) mount became the camera system to have. Unfortunately, lawsuits soon followed: Exxon sued over the typography of &quot;xx&quot; in Maxxum and Honeywell (Pentax) sued claiming the autofocus technology infringed on their patents. It&apos;s a long story, but that began a slow fade; Minolta became Konica Minolta in 2003, finally giving their camera business to Sony in 2006. Although A mount is now second to E for Sony, by my counting, more autofocus lenses have been produced in A than any other mount, so there are plenty of reasons to want to adapt A-mount lenses... and there are various adapters available -- including the LA-EA1/2/3/4 from Sony itself.</p>
<p>Ok, so why 3D print this one? Because we can seems like a decent answer -- this is an easy print in 2 pieces, the adapter itself and a little locking pin. Certainly, this adapter fits nicely on a Techart Pro LM-EA7 autofocus adapter and uses only about 12g of the 700g drive limit for the LM-EA7. It&apos;s great for manual A-mount lenses. The catch is that it doesn&apos;t yet incorporate an aperture control for autofocus lenses... which are the vast majority of A-mount lenses. Hopefully, I&apos;ll find a good way to implement that soon... but the LA-EA4 adapter already implements aperture control and native autofocus using those lenses on Sony E bodies, and I own an LA-EA4 as well as an LM-EA7.</p>
<p>The last two photos were taken using the LM-EA7 on a Sony A7II, autofocusing a manual-focus Samyang (Opteka) 85mm f/1.4, both shot wide open. In fact, it&apos;s the only manual A-mount lens I own. Exceptionally smooth bokeh from that lens, but that super smooth transition to out-of-focus makes it hard to focus manually. By itself, it also has a rather long minimum focus distance, which isn&apos;t a problem combining manual focus with autofocus tweaking by the LM-EA7. I think this lens by itself is enough to justify making this adapter, although there are some other great manual lenses in A mount from companies including Samyang and Zeiss.</p>
