Hot Shoe Picatinny Rail Mount

prusaprinters

<p>Picatinny rail for a standard camera hot shoe.</p> <p>This can be used to mount a reflex sight aka "red dot" on your camera for easier target (re-)acquisition if you use a long telephoto lens, particularly when it has a fixed focal length.</p> <p>Two different sizes available - seven slots and three slots. Indicated print time and material consumption is for the seven slot version.</p> <p><strong>Please note:</strong> This part can not be secured to the hot shoe - there is no locking pin.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Settings</h3> <p>Requires auto-generating support structures. Apart from this, default settings and standard nozzle will do. Model was designed for 0.2mm layer height and 0.4mm nozzle. Using different nozzle diameters and layer heights = YMMV.</p> <h3>Material</h3> <p>Printing with Polycarbonate is recommended. I personally use <em>PolyMax PC</em> as it seems to be the strongest variant out there, costing not that much more money than Prusa's "PC Blend". To print this part, it was not necessary to use a glue stick on the smooth PEI sheet as the contact surface is so small. It easily came off without damage to the sheet after it cooled down.</p> <p>This can of course also be printed with PETG or PLA, but of course this comes with a strong penalty regarding durability.</p>
