Coldshoe Mount (for lights or microphones)

thingiverse

I wanted a flashlight mount for my phone mount coldshoe. I had two problems . . . First, I needed to change the diameter a little because my EDC flashlight is pretty small. Second, my camera mount coldshoe has a LOT of gap below it and the mount falls out of it if there's not a clamp. I couldn't build a screw clamp because I'm not that smart, so I just added another piece of plastic. The first try I made was a parametric model in FreeCAD and it works OK. Then I wanted to try OpenSCAD and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. I'll try to make the clamp a little cleaner in a future revision.
