Morning Glow-Up
This is with the Agfa ePhoto 1680, a 1.3MP CCD camera from 1998. It's pretty temperamental, while it takes 4 AA batteries, normal alkaline batteries don't provide enough juice; I found that Li-Ion rechargeable are the only way to go.
I love the time when they experimented with various camera shapes as they weren’t constrained by how film needs to physically be in the camera anymore.

Our tree topper broke, but now I can print a new one!
Honestly really amazing what you can do with 3D printing.
My former hometown of Vienna has had a lot of influence on it early in 3D printing history…
