I would like to attach my EF-S 18-55mm canon eos lens to my C mount video astronomy camera and note that the adapters appear to be extremely costly unless you hunt on Ebay which seems to result in a plethora of choices which are not always clear.

However, I found this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:199264/#files and thought it might be possible for someone to make this on their 3D printer for me. Subject to agreement on price etc etc etc. I'm not expecting a free ride on this but thought I would trust you guys far more than a far east import via Ebay!

The print went well but I'm concerned that the thread for the C mount may not be adequate to take the weight of the lens.  The part that attaches to the bayonet on the camera lens works fine.  I might try printing with finer layers.  I cannot guarantee that the thread will prove good enough.

I was looking for the same kind of thing and found this:

http://srb-photographic.co.uk/canon-eos-to-c-mount-lens-adaptor-6120-p.asp

isn't that the opposite of what's needed though? That fits a C-mount lens to an EOS body. The OP was looking to mount an EF lens to a C Mount camera.

I think this is the beastie:
