I found a Rollei DIGI 9300 tripod that was missing the head and crank. From here Thingiverse I was able to find a ball joint to attach the camera. That left me to deal with the head lift/lower crank.
Many thanks to TimATX whose Craftsman drill press crank arm and handle provided a nice starting point to print a crank arm and handle for the head lift mechanism.
I only had some poor resolution reference images from the internet to work with, but keeping the neat design from Tim, I tried to model the crank to be of similar shape than the original one. It turned out nice, and even the stop for the unfolded position seems to be in the right place.
Vitamins: you will need a M5 nut and M5 and M4 bolts with some 20 mm of thread to attach the handle to the crank and the assembly to the Rollei lift mechanism.
