Leica M Hot Shoe Flash Cap Cover

thingiverse

Normal hot shoe covers would not work on my M3 because of the asymmetric corner notch and screw at the end. I quickly found out the Leica hot shoe is not the standard type (not that I could find details on the ISO standard anyway), so decided to make my own cover. I think this will work on all M cameras, but have only tested it on my M3. I left room for the spring loaded contacts to snap back 'up' so they do not stay compressed - this gives a nice clicking sound once the cover is slid in place. Took a few revisions to get right, but I think I made it fit well without being impossible for other people to print for their cameras. Updated to cover the top of the screw.
