I designed a 3D-printed Cage for My Panasonic LUMIX S5II
STL Files — laoleaf.com/products/lumix-s5ii-cage
For this project I used PETG+ filament by Levemaker — share.laoleaf.com/levemaker-petg
3D-Print your own LUMIX S5II cage: 100g of filament, half the weight of metal. Arca Quick release, 1/4" Threaded brass heat-set inserts, NATO rails, STL+STEP
Full list of Camera Gear and fasteners I use:
docs.google.com/document/d/10GmsmiP_616u3bbYXAUFEXvoFx94dq-nBDOqNK0W5Tk
Key Features:
⚙️ Half-cage design — mounts to the left half of the body only (bottom 1/4" screw + hot shoe) — The grip, card slot and battery stay completely free.
⚙️ Integrated Arca-Swiss base — quick release straight onto tripods, ballheads and DJI RS gimbals, no extra plate needed.
⚙️ 35 points for 1/4"-20 UNC threaded brass heat-set insert nuts on a 15 mm grid with Anti-twist 3 mm ARRI locating-pin holes — industry-standard spacing, Compatible with SmallRig/Tilta accessories
⚙️ 10 printable NATO rails variants included, 35–80 mm, — can be mount on top, side and bottom.
⚙️ STL + STEP source files — tweak tolerances in CAD to match your printer and filament (for perfect fit)
⚙️ Two-point mounting — hot shoe on top + 1/4" screw bottom. The camera is locked down with zero tilt and shift
⚙️ 100 g of filament — twice as light as metal cages, with more mounting points and versatile
⚙️ Stronger than you can imagine — Even printed in PLA, it holds over 10× the maximum loaded weight of the camera rig
Compatibility:
Panasonic LUMIX S5 II (DC-S5M2), S5 IIX (DC-S5M2X), G9 II (DC-G9M2)
