Klein Thermal Camera Tripod Mount Enclosure

thingiverse

This is an adapter enclosure for the Klein Tools Thermal Imager (TI250) so it can be mounted on a tripod or a pistol handle. (Search Thingiverse for "camera pistol". Photo above shows pistol grip from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1966894) At the bottom is a small slot where a 1/4 x 20 (most common thread used on tripods) can be inserted and held in place with a shot of hot glue. Print both halves with the face (flat side) down. Needs supports turned on. I printed with PLA at 0.2mm layer height and 30% fill. For a good fit, the bottom tab may need some scraping or sanding to remove some of the support residue. To put together, first place the camera into the front cover (see pictures) and then insert the bottom tab into the bottom slot and fold the two pieces together. On the top hole insert a M4x10 thumbscrew (and maybe a washer if needed to snug it up) to hold the pieces together securely. It may be helpful to tap the hole first but not necessary. Note that the interior is symmetric so you can face the camera in either direction. Some supports are a bit hard to remove but will come out with some digging.
