Quick Release Camera Mount - Focal Brand Tripod A compact mount measuring 44mm x 52mm, suitable for various tripods. Printing at 0.3mm layers yields optimal results on my printer. A 1/4" bolt is cut down to precision, with a nut providing the correct length. The bolt should extend no more than 5mm. Simple Mount: The camera can be easily positioned by rotating the hex head. Captive Mount: To secure the bolt handle, slow print speed to 30%. Use pliers to press the bolt head into the handle, ensuring a smooth fit. A well-cleaned handle will move freely if proper attention is given. For easy assembly, soak the base in hot water until it feels like a sponge. Insert the cold handle/bolt, then submerge the entire unit in hot water again. This allows the base to return to its original shape. If the base/camera surface is convex, press the center down while submerged, creating a concave shape when cooled. A drill motor helps break in the assembled unit, ensuring a smooth operation. For added holding power, use a friction pad or inner tube piece. Soft PLA prints work exceptionally well with this mount. Inspiration derived from: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1824197
