Manfrotto Monopod Adaptor

prusaprinters

<p>I discovered that the best tripod for a small 360 camera was a Manfrotto monopod with a mini-tripod on the bottom.</p> <p>This works because the Manfrotto monopod comes with one camera screw thread at the top, and one at the bottom.... If you get the right one...</p> <p>I bought the wrong one, and have been planning to make an adaptor for it ever since.</p> <p>I couldn't think of a good way to attach a 1/4 camera screw to the model until I spotted zx82net's use of a 3/4 to 1/4 adapter screw, so I've used his.</p> <p>It's quite hard to screw in the adaptor, and there is a 50/50 chance that I accidentally mirrored the screw thread. It looks right though...</p> <p>I made a cutting tool in tinkercad to scoop out a hole for the monopod foot. <a href="https://www.tinkercad.com/things/icWrQlzfSeD-monopod-foot-hole">https://www.tinkercad.com/things/icWrQlzfSeD-monopod-foot-hole</a></p> <p>I've printed it at 50% infill, and still twisted off the head while trying to screw in the 3/4 screw, so I thickened the neck a little, and it's working now.</p> <p>I designed it for an M7 nut and bolt, but don't have them available, so I went with a random bolt and some washers. it seems pretty solid.</p> Category: Sport & Outdoors
