The knob to tighten the base plate on my old Manfrotto 700RC2 tripod was very poorly designed because if a certain sized camera was attached to the plate (most cameras), it was impossible to turn the knob.

The clearance is a little tight on the hex head portion, but a good shove will do it. Next time I'll add some more clearance. 

The top part of the knob houses the little screw and the spring, that holds the whole thing together.

I printed mine with PETG since any kind of repeated stress tends to break PLA. There was a little stringing inside but nothing major.
