Flash foot protector for Sony flashes

thingiverse

The Sony multi-interface flash shoe is complex and delicate. It turns out the foot on flashes and flash controllers is typically plastic - and if you drop the item it breaks. This can be both inconvenient (equipment unexpectedly out of action) and expensive... This tiny foot protector clicks on to your equipment and locks there - the usual device release button works as you expect. The images show the protector with a Nissin Air 1 flash controller. Files updated to a slightly more elegant shell... Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator 2X Rafts: No Supports: No Notes: There is a fill STL for a dissolvable filament support. You may be able to print this without fill by turning the STL upside down - but the best results for the small flange that clips the protector to the flash/controller will come with a dual material print. I use Simplify3D as the slicer - it is far superior to the Makerbot software...
