Smith Victor Photo Light Telescopic Lock Ring

thingiverse

I needed a new lock ring for my Smith Victor photo light's telescopic pole, and what worked perfectly was a replacement part that fit poles with 9.5mm inner/upper diameters and 15.75mm outer/lower diameters. To get the job done, I printed this part using supports, but be cautious when removing those supports from the center/vertical slots - they can be tricky to take out due to tight spaces. When it comes to printing, I've made sure that the holes have a tolerance of +0.2mm ID, which is the "slop" my particular printer gives me. If you scale the model up or down slightly, you might find adjusting the tolerances to your printer works like a charm. Your tips are always welcome!
