200pl Quick Release Mount for Action Camera

thingiverse

Manfrotto quick release plate with action camera type mount - a 200pl model designed for versatility. Note that the plate and action camera mount were adapted from existing projects on thingiverse. The original plate can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:71604, while the mount originated from this source: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:753129. This model features a built-in pocket where you can insert a 1" x 1/8" rare earth magnet during printing. The result is a dual-purpose design that allows you to either attach it to metal or use it in a tripod mount. To activate the pause feature, I employed Simplify3D and added a script in the Additional post-processing commands section of the Scripts tab. The script searches for layer 12 in the final G-code file and inserts commands to move the print head out of the way and pause printing automatically. I printed this model at a layer height of .2mm, but you may need to adjust your settings or slicer if you prefer different print parameters.
