Kodak 126 Film Adapter (35mm)

I tried the other available models in my camera, but they were far too large to allow the door to close. I also noted that the bottom portion of the cartridge had a raised section (to mirror the top) which seemed to be unecessary in the model (at least for my camera), and added the requirement for support on the lower portion. Also included is a shim, to slide under the takeup spool side of the cartridge (not in it) for a snug fit.

I created this completely from scratch, only using other models as reference, I also reduced the width of the spool compared to the alternatives, my thinking being I could fit more film in there.

Your mileage may vary with this model, I only have one camera that takes 126 film to test with, and no 126 film to emulate, so can't really comment on fitment in other cameras

The pieces have no locking mechanism to remain together, so I highly recommend a piece of tape on the back, and very highly recommend that you cover the window on the back of the camera.

This is as yet untested, I'm going to spool some 35mm into the cartridge and test over the weekend. Edit 1: A full 36 exposure film fit, and has been spooled, now to take some pictures!

As yet - I've still not developed any images from this, don't get mad if you waste film, you're trying this at your own risk!

Update 5/12/25: I finally sent the film to be developed, but have been told that the rebates are too jagged so they're sending it back to me. Will see what I can do from there, but I'm not certain that this is a model issue, rather a ‘camera with aggressive components’ issue, perhaps

Update 15/12/25: I got the developed film back, looked at it and there are only 2 pictures on the entire 36 exposure film, however this wasn't a known-working camera, so I can't say what's at fault, could've been user error, this model, or the camera itself. Will try to rework it in time.
