Camera Hot Shoe Cover

cults3d

I see that Nikon camera hot shoe has small plates curving up to the front side to help clip things better. Standard hot shoe cover has side lips along the cover from rear to front and I think if the hot shoe cover stays for long, the lips will weaken the hot shoe clips. That's why I make a short lips (5 mm), so that they do not press the clips on hot shoe. Simple, no fancy, but it does its job that is covering the pins beneath. Resolution at 0.2 mm will end up with thicker lips. Then you need more effort to sand or file them a little. Pick any resolution below 0.2 mm.
