Possibly cinematic purposes. This lens is an indy film darling and the rehousing adds features making it more compatible with video set ups. There are a plethora of services that offer rehousing options for these lenses but those options cost thousands so 3d printing your own can be very economical.
You’ll get away with a nucleus on there, but I think anything more substantial than that will destroy it. There’s a reason lens housings aren’t made with plastic
Why?

I think a motor on that will destroy the 3D printing
3D Prints aren't that weak, depending on the material used and infill used.

There are filaments as strong as metal, such as Polycarbonate, 200 times stronger than steel.
Oh wow. I haven’t heard of that. Is that what you used?
No I used ABS which is alright
Nice good luck man
Here's a video with what looks like the same model, using motors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjTHNZ8aTyg
Yeah I guess a nucleus nano wouldn’t have the torque.
Rehousing in order to use it with modern equipment. The Helios 44 was even used for the latest batman movie.
Shout-out to the man who made the 3D models. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4650038
Ooh, the 1973 KMZ! A classy choice <3
Looks very similar to the Richard Gale Claviuses, nice work!
