Velbon CX-686 Tripod Leg Top V2

thingiverse

I designed this thing using Tinkercad and fixed up a Velbon CX-686 tripod for cheap since it had a broken leg hinge. I chose to design and 3D print a replacement, which turned out great. I selected Taulman Alloy 910 nylon filament to make it incredibly strong and not brittle at all, that's why it's white or natural as they call it. I printed with 100% infill for maximum strength, on a raft without any supports. I used a hot end temperature of 255C with a build plate temperature of 60C and I use kapton tape on the build plate which has been roughed up with fine sandpaper then coated in Elmer's purple glue stick. Here is a link to the YouTube video that explains how to remove the old leg etc. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3267446
