Kinect 360 support base for tripods (1/4 20UNC)

thingiverse

This is a support base for the kinect 360 to adapt it to any tripod mount. You will need to tap a thread into the center hole after printing, the best is to do this with a tap tool, if you don't have one you can do this by slowly and carefully screwing and unscrewing your tripod mount into the hole, make sure your screw is ALWAYS PERPENDICULAR to the hole and that you screw in a bit and then screw it out, then screw it in a bit more and screw it out again until there is a thread in the hole. It clicks into the kinect securely without any screws, it can hold the kinect upside down with no problem. It is designed to stay on the kinect even when not on the tripod. Since the bottom is flat, the kinect stands on a table or any other flat surface when the mount is on. I've designed it to save material and printing time while maintaining structural integrity (that's why all the holes). Should be printed with the flat part down in PLA at 100% infill to make sure the hooks are strong enough to click in and out without breaking.
