For those who don't want to read:
The model is NOT PERFECT. It needs some work, but it works with difficulty.

I used PETG filament, didn't check the others.

Now in more detail:

This plastic part broke a long time ago, but I couldn't find a replacement for it. I don't even know what it's called. After buying a 3D printer, I started looking for a ready-made model, but couldn't find anything.

(yeap, I just taped it up)

This is practically my first experience with modeling for 3D printing. I made three versions of the model: regular, thin, and ultra-thin.

The regular one was too thick and didn't fit in the tripod.
The thin one (the current model) was also too big, but with some effort, you can control the height of the tripod.
The ultra-thin one fit the tripod perfectly, but it didn't fix the height at all.

I don't know how to improve the current model yet. But it already allows me to partially repair the tripod.

I would appreciate any advice. I have only recently started 3D printing and may not be aware of some of the nuances.
