Small part for securing a bubble level to a 9-11mm dovetail rail. Nothing special, but I can't see another design like this online elsewhere.

I had a little 25mm x 10mm bubble level cylinder lying around, and thought it would be a good use for it. If you make this yourself, you'll need one. Since this seems to be a pretty esoteric part, I've included the Fusion 360 CAD file if you need to change the design. The number of people that both happen to have one of these exactly, and happen to have a need for this, is probably pretty slim after all.

The part holds itself in place just with clamping force. You might need to use an elastic band to secure it better, but bending it into place works fine.

Realistically, taping the bubble level tube itself to a rifle with some clear tape would do the same job, but this is prettier and avoids leaving glue residue behind. It also works better on round rails.

Some cameras have a dovetail rail for mounting accessories, this would probably be pretty good for ensuring the camera is level when taking a photo.
