This model prints a “handle grip” around a 60mm x M8 bolt, enabling you to tighten the bolt with ease and without extra tools.

I designed it to fit the photo head of Manfrotto 804rc2, as the original 3 screws were lost, and I didn't want to pay $40 for replacement parts, when a standard M8 bolt would do (total cost less than $4).

You need:

  1. M8 bolt (fully threaded) x 60mm length
  2. M7/M8 rubber washer/gasket (insert between handle and tripod for a smooth connection)
  3. 3x M3 x 11mm bolts, no countersink

I chose 60mm for the bolt length, which results in a rather stubby and short grip, which is still usable. Modify the included design file, if you want a longer bolt and handle.

Printing notes

  • Print the base standing up on its narrow end, with a brim. No supports are needed
  • Print cap “the right side up”, with supports on the underside (side cutouts don't need them)
  • 20% infill / 0.15 / 0.20 layer height
  • Print time 2h20m
