15mm / 19mm camera rod holders with dovetail

Pieces to hold camera rods together, and they can be chained together with a dovetail.

Only found one design for this and it was a bit broken. Also had this idea of attaching these pieces together depending on how many rods you have, Pretty commonly you might have a pair of 15mm and a pair of 19mm, and this way they stay together and don't make noise in a bag or camera cart trough.

4x 15mm rods in 2 holders form a square so the holders can be attached either way. These are also compatible with my 15mm camera rod swivel joint in that way.

The dovetail tolerance took a lot of adjusting to get right. Then I went and printed it in PETG and it was much tighter. So I published two versions of both. With PLA I'd try “tight” first, with PETG try “loose” first. Even with loose, you might need to sand the dovetail edges a little to make the tolerance right. And note that once the tolerance is right, it will be tighter once the rods are attached, which locks them together better, and this I'd like to say was by design but actually a happy accident. That allows you to slide them on and off when there's no rods, but they won't detach when you've attached the rods.

You might need to add some brim on the tips to make bed adhesion better. Bambu Studio had a tool for that at least.
