Replacement Quick Release Plate for 3Pod 3PVHQ3 Tripod Head

Replacement quick release plate for 3Pod 3PVHQ3 tripod head.

Required Additional Parts

TPU printing capabilities for anti slide insert or SAE O-Ring size AS568-113 or metric 2.5x14mm.

1: ¼"-20 or 3/8"-16 x ½-5/8" pan head bolt for mounting camera/accessories.

Print Settings

Parts oriented for optimal printing.

Printed In PLA with a .6mm nozzle, .25 layer height, 3 walls, 5 bottom/6 top layers, 30% cubic infill. If printing with a .4 line width I recommended printing with at least 4 walls. 26g of material.

TPU Insert should print fine with the same recommended .6 nozzle and .25 layer height.

Assembly

 O-Ring/insert should lock into insert when pressed in. It should press in by hand but may require being clamped in with a camera once the screw is inserted.

Bolt holes are slightly undersized so that a bolt with notched or filed bottom threads will be retaind while there is no camera attached. If using full length threads just bottom out the bolt and keep turning while no camera is attached until is spins easily to create clearance for threads so the camera will pull tight against the plate when tightened.
