1/4" to 3/8" screw adapter (Photo/video)

This is a 3D printable 1/4" to 3/8" screw adapter, ideal for adapting threads commonly found in photo and video equipment such as tripods, camera mounts, and more.

Important Update:

I’ve created a Version 2 of this model with improved thread tolerance. While this original Version 1 offers a tight fit, some users may find it difficult to mount or use in certain setups.

• Version 2 addresses this issue by adding extra tolerance, making it easier to screw on and off while maintaining a secure fit.

• Both versions are available, so you can choose based on your preferences:

• Version 1: Tight fit for extra security in certain applications.

• Version 2: Easier to mount with added thread tolerance.

Feel free to try both and pick the one that works best for your needs! It is small and quick print.

Features:

• Designed for photographers and videographers.

• Compact and practical.

• Optimized for FDM 3D printing with standard filament types.

Recommended Print Setup:

For best results, use the following print settings:

• Layer Height: 0.1–0.2 mm for smooth threads.

• Material: PLA, PETG, ASA or ABS.

• Wall Count: 3 walls for strength.

• Infill: 50% or higher to ensure a sturdy part.

• Supports: Not required.

Make sure to calibrate your printer’s flow and dimensional accuracy for a precise fit!

If you’ve already printed Version 1 and found the fit too tight, I highly recommend giving Version 2 a try!
