Manfrotto MKC3-H01 Camera Tripod Attachment Plate

thingiverse

The Manfrotto MKC3-H01 camera tripod utilizes an unconventional attachment plate to secure the camera to the stand. Instead of replacing the entire fantastic tripod or paying $25 for a replacement part, this piece was expertly designed. This is a standalone attachment plate. The wingnut, washer collar, alignment pin, and spring were salvaged from a budget-friendly, standard attachment plate. To enhance friction between the camera and plate, you can add multiple layers of duct tape (or cork tape) to the top of the plate. If your camera features an alignment hole, the pin will keep it securely in place, making additional tape unnecessary. This makeshift solution works flawlessly and saves a substantial amount of money compared to purchasing a replacement part. I have successfully printed two units, which I use on a regular basis. I am aware that this piece may not be essential or widely applicable, but I decided to upload it nonetheless, hoping it might prove useful for someone in need.
