Cheap speedlights tripods heads have those metal hot shoe mounts. I really don't like them, so I replaced them with my own.
// Printing info
- use PETG to ensure, that adapters are strong enugh
- print “Cold shoe” standing on it's back - no supports needed
- print “adapter_plate” on biggest flat surfece - add supports in nuts holes (you don't need them in screw holes)
// Assembly
Assemble them using two flat(!) M3x10mm screws (you can use a bit logner - there's free space underneath) and M3 nuts.
Mount them in place of oryginal one and you're ready to shoot!
// Sizes
There're two versions, because in my tripod heads there're differnet distances between mounting screews (see attached drawings and file names). Outer dimensions are the same.
// Other info
Adapter plates are designed to use oryginal mounting screws - they work with M3 and with Φ3 screws for plastic.
I've tessted them with Yongnuo speedlights made for Nikon.
