Quick release camera clip/holster (work in progress)

thingiverse

This is a work in progress for my DSLR's and has not been world tested or weight tested. Use at your own risk. Edit: {I have added file ReinforcedHolster that has Been beefed up I have not yet printed this one. I am working on a model that uses a metal spring from a cheap harbor freight spring clamp. If you print the Reinforced holster please upload a photo} After working on the design, it became clear that it would be useful for many things where you want to lock in quickly. I am working on some variants for mounting to walls, car/truck trunks/cargo areas and blanks for you to drill holes to the size you want. I'm sure there is a better one out there but I preferred to use my time making one and learn from it then searching for one. Print Settings Printer Brand: Prusa Printer: Prusa Steel Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 30 Notes: Printed with ABS, 0.3 nozzle, 0.15 first layer, 0.2 layers, and 0.9 wall/top bottom thickness. Supports used at 6%, zig zag, everywhere on the retainer clip. No supports used for the clip fob. I've also updated the infill to 30%. My 0.3 nozzle printed this very well with these settings. I used supports for the spring clip and also the retaining flange overhang. You may be able to get away without but the Cura supports removed easily for me so I would suggest using them. Again, this is not world or weight tested. I am thinking of making the retainer flanges thicker and also adding some other features, so stay tuned or update yourself – I'd love to see other ideas about the design. I used paracord for the fob and a knot to secure it in the fob. With standard paracord, the knot is slightly too big for the button cover to be used. I know there are thinner and stronger cords so use what works that's strong enough. The belt loop holes are just under 40mm long and 6mm wide which fits my 35mm wide 3mm thick leather belt snugly. If enough people need it larger or a different size, I'll include it in the next remix. I'm also going to make one to fit my camera bag strap so I may just include it in the remix files. I have also printed this about 20% smaller for holding grocery bags in the trunk. I used braided mason line for the smaller one, which is strong and it loops thru the bags easily.
