So I decided to start teaching myself to sew and I’m enjoying the Kenmore Model 52 I saved from the thrift store, but it’s a really old machine and if I want to do zigzag stitches I need a Type E Cam #1, which is apparently very hard to locate online. I’ve found one listing but I don’t really wanna drop another hundred dollars after everything else I’ve had to buy so I was wondering; does anyone else have that cam, and would you be able and willing to take a 3d scan of it with your phone? 3d printing it would be a lot easier than hunting all over creation for an original but I can’t find a model of this type of cam or even a good picture showing what the thing looks like.
I was going to suggest 3d printing it. I don’t think I have that specific cam but I’ll certainly look. I use an Elna 62c which also uses cams but a very different cam style.
Do you have any cams for the machine? The hardest part is usually the overall dimensions but if you have any cam for it, you/we may be able to work from another cam to get the zigzag one.

It was a rescue from a thrift store, didn’t have any cams at all. If I can find a set I’ll probably make one of those 3d scanning carousels and take scans of them for a backup and post them in case anyone else has my very specific problem
