Remote release for PT-058 Housing

cults3d

This project aims to adapt the handle of the "Underwater Camera Deck" (https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/platinum-camera-submarine) inspired by the design: "Various mods for Olympus PT-058 Housing for TG-5" from FaceOnEgg (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3030704). In relation to the project https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/platinum-camera-submarine camera, the plate remains unchanged. The handles have been shortened by 30 mm to fit the device perfectly. A redesigned trigger mechanism plate attaches directly to the handle for improved functionality. The release lever has undergone slight modifications to provide better release on the PT-058 Housing's release button and enhance movement transmission. The original trigger mechanism remains unaltered, but a spring has been added for enhanced return and comfort during trigger relaxation. This spring was carefully cut from a pen spring that had initially exceeded the required length at its base. Assembly is accomplished using two M2 30mm screws and two corresponding nuts. To ensure seamless movement of the parts, it is recommended to use a light sanding process. Additionally, reference is made to project https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3622968 for crucial details regarding PT-058 fixing screws and the aluminum plate under the redesigned trigger mechanism. The outcome is a soft and progressive trigger that allows for a two-step trigger functionality.
