Tripod Mount Fix

thingiverse

My Samsonite tripod was teetering due to a damaged threaded plastic connection, which I had stripped out entirely. To mock up this issue in Solidworks, I created an exact replica of the part and then printed it on my Makerbot 3D printer - now, good as new! Since the installation process required significant force, I adjusted the build strength from its default settings to make it even more durable: Resolution is now set at Standard; Infill is set at 50% density; Number of shells is raised to 2; Layer height is increased to a precise 0.20mm thickness; Rafts are enabled to ensure proper foundation, and Supports are also turned on for additional structural integrity.
