Leica M2 Hand Grip, Screw, and Finder Flare Shield

thingiverse

This is a custom hand grip, screw, and finder flare shield designed specifically for the Leica M2 camera. The grip attaches securely to the camera via the accessory pin on the left side and the tripod mount on the right using a sturdy 3/8-16x1/2" flat screw that can be easily tightened with a coin. For maximum durability, it's recommended to manufacture this part from a strong material like ABS or nylon at an infill density of 100%. The included finder flare shield is designed to be adjustable in scale to ensure a perfect fit on your camera, and the provided model has been scaled to match the exact dimensions that work best with my Leica M2. The shield is printed in PLA with a layer thickness of 0.2mm and fits snugly onto the curve of the camera body, ensuring a secure and seamless attachment. A convenient cutout in the front grip allows the camera's timer function to operate without any issues, as demonstrated in this video: https://youtu.be/BGccZ-teDLY. Additionally, there is a hole drilled into the base of the grip positioned at the film plane center, which can be tapped and threaded with a 1/4-20 nut for secure tripod mounting.
