I made an adapter to use Instax Square film directly in some Vintage Kodak Instant Cameras!

Here is all the info so you can make one too:
3d print files can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:667...
3d print files for the replacement crank handle: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:667...
The set of springs I used: http://amazon.com/gp/product/B0BVTDP29W
The camera model I recommend is a Kodak Pleaser II.

Some of the files will need some supports to print, but they should be easy to remove. I used PLA+, but any material should work, just make sure to use black so that there's not light bouncing around inside the camera.

For the main spring in the adapter, I used a .6 x 7 x 20mm 10 lap spring that was then stretched to be about 35 or 40mm. For the spring back plate adapter, I used a .6 x 7 x 10mm 6 lap spring that I cut in half and used both halves in the adapter.
