Tripod adapter for Guerilla Projectors

thingiverse

Attaches projectors from GuerillaBeams to any tripod quickly. These can be snapped on and off the projector multiple times for ease of use. Currently, there are three different versions: flat base quick mount base (42mm x 42mm), which fits with tripods that have integrated heads at a lower cost. It is compatible with Velbon, Hama, and other similar tripods. a quick mount base, suitable for Arca Swiss-like clamp heads, but still under testing (test by you?) to perfect its functionality. All of these adapters feature 1/4-20 tripod screw threads for ease of use. Because 3d printed threads are only so reliable, I highly recommend using the quick mount adapters for more heavy-duty projectors.

How This Was Designed I created this using Autodesk Inventor software. I have the source files available on request for your reference. Instructions for Printing The part should be printed vertically as shown in the images. Printing vertically ensures that it will be strong and can be done without the need for additional support material during the printing process. Wall Thickness 0.8mm shell thickness is enough to hold regular projectors from GuerillaBeams in place normally. However, lenses of 200mm and larger are recommended to use a wall thickness of at least 1.2mm. Infill To ensure structural integrity some infill should be added. The screw thread on the top needs this extra support as well. Review what your printer generates using your slicer tool. Then select any setting between 7% and 100% that you prefer, in order to add suitable infill levels.
