Manfrotto 785b Smallest Camlock

thingiverse

This is a modified version of @MrSegers design that I've resized and tailored to suit my needs. Like many owners, one of my Manfrotto 785B tripods has had its camlocks break after years of heavy use. Rather than going through the hassle of official support from Manfrotto, which can be a lengthy process, I decided to explore 3D printing options. MrSegers files on Thingiverse were a great starting point, but I needed the smallest camlock size that wasn't available. So, I uploaded the STL file to Tinkercad and made some adjustments and test prints. After about 4-5 iterations and tweaks, my printed camlock was good enough for use. If you're in need of this part, feel free to use it - hopefully, it works just as well for you!
