Tripod Mount Lug Washer & Bolt

thingiverse

The OpenSCAD script generates the bolt, washer, and lug for tripod mounts similar to those provided with the MakerBot Cyclops 3D scanner kit. The lug can be made hollow or solid by setting the "tripod_is_hollow" variable to true/false. This feature is useful when combining shapes. The script may benefit users looking to create accessories for camera tripods. If you have part numbers, please share as they are specific to the Cyclops kit. This is version 0.1, released on July 23rd, 2012, following the ISO Standard YYYY_MM_DD format. Future updates may include generating the base with a more accurate shape and triangular spikes.

The Tyndall National Institute assumes no liability for any damages resulting from software usage. For help on editing the script, adjust the "calls" section to choose what objects are generated, their location, and orientation. Variables like "washer_is_hollow" and "tripod_lug_pillar_extra_h" can be used to generate a combined object without internal features, ideal for differencing with another shape.
