Shutter Release Button Pusher - Canon EOS M50

I recently bought myself a device to track stars (Omegon Montierung Mini Track LX3).

So now I had the problem with my Canon EOS M50, that it only has a wireless remote (optional), but not a plug to plug one in with a cable to shoot multiple photos in a row. Without having to stand next to it instead of having to do it all manually with the wireless.

I found solutions online which required a modification to the hardware which I didn't want to do. Soldering and stuff...

So I thought up this little device...

You need:

• 2x M3x16 countersunk screw
• 2x M3 flat square nut

ColdShoe version is, so you can store your HotShoe Cover while using it.

I also included the Fusion360 and STEP files for anyone who wants to modify them to fit their own setup. -> The Fusion360 file includes the M50 dummy. You only have to make it visible.

And IF you modify it, please share it :)

First Layer height 0,3mm

rest 0,12mm

At First, the threads are really hard going -> clean up the thread a little bit and also use some Teflonspray if necessary.

Every STL is already rotated so it is print-ready.

If you print the version with the Cold Shoe... do a brim ;-)

+make pictures and post them!!

+Have fun printing it & doing some great long time exposures with it :)
