Ball Head Plate Replacement

Unfortunately, the original ball head plate was of very poor quality. The thread was directly in the plastic body made of soft plastic, so it was only a matter of time before it would get damaged. 

My model includes a nut with a standard 1/4” UNC tripod thread. There isn't practically chance to damage it.

You can choose from two options. The first is with a rubber pad and the second, simpler, without a pad.

Print instructions:

I decided to use PETG. Printing the model does not require any special settings, supports required. See the attached 3MF file for detailed print settings.
