This adapter allows you to mount a sliding GoPro plate to a tripod with a captive nut.
Recommend printing at a bit higher resolution (<0.20mm/layer) than you normally would, in order for the GoPro plate to print nicely at an angle. I used 0.15mm/layer.
To add the captive nut using your slicer, set it to pause before the point the nut would be covered, insert your nut on the pause, then continue printing. This way glue isn't needed to secure the nut into the part - as it's captive. (this is already set in my included 3mf file).
Add more walls and infill to make it stronger. I used 4 perimeters, 20% infill, and I made sure the bottom layer was 1.5mm thick, so the captured nut would have a solid surface to sit on. Use ASA filament for UV protection and to tolerate a bit of flex.
No supports are needed for a very good fit.
