This is the TPU rosette (toothed spacer/washer) for the Sony VCT-1170RM tripod head. It sits between the teeth on the rotating handle mount and the head body.

The original plastic wore out over time, causing the handle to bind or not rotate freely when the thumbnut was loosened. Printed in flexible TPU, this rosette conforms perfectly to the metal teeth, providing a smooth, compliant interface so the handle rotates freely when unlocked while still delivering strong positive locking when tightened.

Print recommendations

  • Material: TPU (95A recommended for the perfect balance of flexibility and durability)

  • No supports needed

  • Print flat on the bed for the best tooth detail

  • 0.2 mm layer height, 100 % infill for maximum strength and precise tooth profile

This model is part of the complete Sony VCT-1170RM Replacement Series — all parts are designed to work together and bring the classic fluid-head tripod back to reliable daily use.
