Robus Tripod Spike Feet

thingiverse

I love my new Robus tripod, but its either the spike feet or the rubber feet threaded onto the legs that are a letdown, unlike my other tripod that allows me to retract the rubber foot to expose the spike easily. This means I can damage things and transition to a rubber foot inconveniently. With these TPU caps, it's easy and quick to cover the spikes for protection or use on a delicate surface. They snap on and off easily and securely. The "cap" is very minimal, but will work as a small foot. The "foot" is designed to spread the load over a larger area with the flat bottom angled at 25deg to sit flat on the floor in normal use. The source files are included from FreeCAD 0.18, and the sketches are parameterized so it should be easy to adapt this to other size spikes.
