Exploded 1200D

Description

Ever wondered what a DSLR looks like on the inside? I did, so I took apart a broken Canon EOS 1200D and made it into an exploded view model. This project was part of a RISD ID course taught by Max Pratt.

Parts Index

As part of the disassembly process, the Canon EOS 1200D Parts Index was created to help me keep track of all the different components. Each component has a short description with links to relevant parts.

Side view of the final model. Most pieces like the PCBs are quite thin, with only the mirror box, spine piece, and outer shell being noticeably thicker.

Front view of the final model. The model appears rather crowded from this perspective as all the different pieces stack together.
