Simple Hot Shoe Stand for Camera Flash or Video Light: A Minimal Design This basic hot shoe stand is designed specifically for camera flashes or video lights, with a focus on simplicity and minimal materials used in its construction. To print it without the need for supports, simply orient the model with the shoe mount facing downwards, allowing you to create a sturdy attachment point directly onto the printer bed. The dimensions of the shoe itself are based on an industry-standard ISO model, ensuring compatibility with most flash units. For optimal results when printing this design, consider the following settings: Printer: Monoprice Maker Select Print Settings: - Rafts: Yes - Supports: No - Resolution: This setting has minimal impact on the final result. - Infill: A 10% infill worked well for my initial print, but I would recommend a higher percentage for better durability. Post-Printing Notes: To achieve a secure fit with your flash or light unit, ensure that the stand is attached solely by friction. However, if you encounter issues due to a rough or imprecise print, some gentle filing and sanding may be necessary to smooth out the attachment area.
