Camera (tripod) screw 1/4"-20 UNC

prusaprinters

<p>This is a standard camera screw, as included with most tripods. The knurled headplate is a real stress test for FDM printers. ;)&nbsp;<br>Due to the tiny dimensions, I recommend printing it using the highest resolution/lowest layer height your printer is capable of. The part in the photo was printed at 0.08 mm using a 0.4 mm nozzle. And <strong>no,</strong> you <strong>don't</strong> need any support to print this.</p><p><strong>Warning:</strong> A plastic screw can not replace a metal screw, not even a s an emergency substitute. Use this part only<br>a) for lightweight cameras (i.e. drone cams, action cams)<br>b) for applications in which the screw is the predetermined breaking point (like mounting a camera to drones, RC car or airplane models).<br>If you don't necessarily need the flat head and threaded plate compatibility, have a look at the camera screws I included with my <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/105985-runcam-2-integration-for-rc-models-construction-ki">Runcam 2 mounting kit.</a> These are somewhat sturdier.</p><p>If you want to use the screw for your own CAD construction work, use one of the STEP files added. Please note that there are two different files: “Camera screw 1_4 original UNC” features the original thread dimensions as defined for UNC ¼-20 while “Camera screw 1_4 3D printing” has a slight thread surface offset to compensate 3D printing effects (just like the STL).</p>
