Camera hot shoe adapter base / cover

prusaprinters

<p>This is intended to be used as a base for building something else to mount on a camera hot shoe. As is, it serves as a hot shoe cover (which comes with the camera but is among the first things lost because the part is so small).</p><p>The front end of the adapter base is beveled for easier insertion. Printing at 0.25mm layer height makes all the heights in the design accurate, resulting in a snug fit even without the friction clips on the sides.</p><p>The dimensions are based on my measurements taken from a Nikon D5100 DSLR camera.</p><p>The OpenSCAD model creates a mount with the 12mm wide x 16.4mm long pedestal centered at [0,0,0], on which you can design something to mount on it using OpenSCAD. I plan to use this as the base for a flashlight mount. The pedestal is adjustable in height with one parameter.</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand: </strong>Prusa</p><p><strong>Printer: </strong>I3 MK3S</p><p><strong>Supports: </strong>No</p><p><strong>Resolution: </strong>0.25mm layer height, 0.4mm nozzle</p><p><strong>Infill: </strong>15% gyroid</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong> Generic PLA</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>The only print setting to be concerned with is the layer height. <strong>Printing at 0.25mm height gives the most accurate thicknesses for this piece.</strong> Tolerances are tight so this is important.</p><p>With PrusaSlicer, you can do this by going to Adaptive Layer Height and using a quality/speed setting of 0.5. Then it automatically sets the layer height to 0.25.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Category: Camera</p>
