Watch the video about the parts here:

As pictured this is 3 parts, you can use the top and bottom plates individually. Or use all 3 parts to make a V mount back for Sony FS7 and FS7mk2 cameras.

I recommend printing each part in PETG, Nylon or similar heat tolerant filament (not PLA).
I made my final parts in PETG with 8 shell loops, 5 solid top and bottom layers and 90% infill.
You could probably get away with less, but I thought it was better to have as much strength as possible.
Important note: You will need to cut the V-mount plate in your slicer. I cut mine ~half way through the long holes for the 15mm rods. The rods are then clamped between the 2 halves.

Top and Bottom plates use ¼-20 threaded heat inserts (affiliate link)

V mount back uses M3 heat inserts M3x3.5x4.6x6 (affiliate link)

The V mount back is attached with 2x dual 15mm rod holders, 1 attached to top plate, one attached to bottom plate. attached with ¼-20 cap head screws.
You will also need 2x 15mm OD rods, I used Carbon Fiber rods and cut them down for a perfect fit.
You will also need 2x 3/8-16 tripod screws to attach the top plate to the camera.
2x long dome head ¼-20 bolts are also needed for the horizontal screws in the top plate.

The V mount back pannel should allow most full size V mount plates and Gold mount plates to mount to it with M3 bolts (holes for M3 thread heat inserts in the model)
