In addition I wanted the screw to stay mounted in the plate without it falling back.\u003cbr\u003eThe main features of this design are the recessed shape of the plate, that allows for a high density foam pad that prevents camera from slipping, and a threaded hole to screw the screw in.\u003cbr\u003eThe screw is a standard 1\/4\" \/ 20 threeads per inch screw.\u003cbr\u003eI added a chamfered top for easier insertion.\u003cbr\u003eI tweaked it a little to make its diameter 1\/100mm thinner then 6mm (1\/4\") in order to avoid excessive friction when screwing the screw in the camera. The idea came to me after I printed \u003ca href=\"\/thing:2808184\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.thingiverse.com\/thing:2808184\u003c\/a\u003e and had it jammed in an old camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe screw is simply perfect. It screws in smoothly and with minimal friction, yet, it is not loose. It features a top 4mm threaded part and a lower smooth shaft. Once screwed in the plate hole, it cannot fall back unless it is unscrewn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough I am confident that - if printed correctly - the screw is strong and precise enough to screw in a camera body with no problems, \u003ci\u003eprint it and use it at your own risk\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf not properly printed, the screw could break in the camera, leaving the threaded shaft caught in the camera hole. \u003ci\u003eYou might want to try it with an old camera\u003c\/i\u003e. If you have any doubts, please ask me or the community before risking to trap a piece of plastic in your camera.\u003cbr\u003eIn the unlikely event that you break the screw in the camera, don't panic. With a little patience and a thin dremel milling bit you should be able to clean the camera thread with minimal (if any) damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePrint Settings\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinter Brand: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrusa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                            \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinter: \u003c\/strong\u003e                     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrusa Clone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRafts: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                            \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupports: \u003c\/strong\u003e                     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResolution: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e0.08\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                            \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfill: \u003c\/strong\u003e                     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e100%\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilament:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?url=search-alias\u0026amp;field-keywords=Geeetech+PLA\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eGeeetech PLA\u003c\/a\u003e                Black                    \u003cbr\u003e                        \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes: \u003c\/strong\u003e                    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrint the plate, but especially the screw, at the finest resolution and the lowest speed that you can afford. I printed mine with a layer thicknes of 0.08mm at 30mm\/s speed. The screw can be printed in upright position with no support, or you can turn it 90° and print it sideways with support. This should ensure added torsional strength. PLA is OK. stronger materials would be preferable. Set low density support layers at 0.16mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet support z-distance at 0.16 for easy support strip off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI experienced a slight tendency to warping.
