You MUST pause the print partway through to drop in a nut.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you print it start-to-finish without pausing, there will be no captured nut and the part won't thread onto a tripod. The pause is quick and easy — details below — but don't skip it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Want to put your **Ring Outdoor Cam Plus** somewhere a wall screw won't go — a tripod, a light stand, a deck-rail clamp, a window mount? This adapter puck gives the camera a standard \u003cstrong\u003e1\/4\"-20 tripod thread\u003c\/strong\u003e while reusing the \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal Ring base plate\u003c\/strong\u003e that came with your camera, so the camera still clicks on exactly the way Ring designed it.

Your Ring plate simply screws down onto it using its \u003cstrong\u003eown four screws\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a \u003cstrong\u003ecaptured 1\/4\"-20 hex nut\u003c\/strong\u003e sits inside for the tripod thread.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe captured-nut trick (this is the good part)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e No heat-set inserts, no nut that falls out. You print straight off the bed, and at one short pause you \u003cstrong\u003edrop a standard hardware-store 1\/4\"-20 nut\u003c\/strong\u003e into the pocket — the printer then bridges a solid cap right over it, trapping it forever.
