3 Inch AT Switch Camera Mount (1/4"-20 thread)

prusaprinters

<p>This is the first of several mounts that are designed to convert an Assistive Technology (AT) Switch to fit on standard camera mounts.</p> <p>Camera mounts are 1/4"-20 female sockets. That is, they take a standard 1/4" bolt with 20 threads per inch. These mounts are everywhere (there are over 3000 camera mounts with 4+ stars on <a href="https://www.amazon.com?linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20&amp;linkId=e4759bff1fa9a55a0f897d801ce2d765&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Amazon</a>) including on Tripods, Brackets, Monopods, Booms, etc. Being able to use these tools to position AT Switches is a huge advantage and these "things" will help make that happen.</p> <p>The first that I'm posting is a 3" mount that uses a 1/4-20 "T-Nut" to create the socket. T-Nuts are used in rock climbing walls and are available at your local hardware store for about $.60 or online for about $.10 This design calls for a T-Nut with a total height of .6in (I believe they are sold as 1/2" but don't count the base).</p> <p>To assemble this, you will also need a 1/4-20 bolt that's at least 3/4" long to pull the t-nut into place. See pictures above.</p> <p>The 3" mount fits an Ablenet Jelly Bean Twist and other 3" switches. Additional mounts will be forthcoming.
