A printable tenting puck, which is very similar to the one offered by SplitKB, featuring a ¼" UNC tripod thread and four bolt holes for M2 screws in the 38.1mm pattern.
The outside diameter is 42.6mm - please check if this fits if you are using a case with a cutout.
I recommend printing it in PETG or a similar material, as PLA will tend to creep over time, causing the tripod to become looser/not grip as well.
Using the textured build plate likely helps with grip for tripods with a rubber mounting face, such as the Manfrotto pocket tripod.
The M2 screws screw directly into the plastic - in my experience, this causes no issues, as there is no large forces acting here. There obviously is a limit to how tight the tripod can be screwed in, but it's probably more than you think.
Required Hardware
- 4*M2x(3-6) cap head screws
- I have tried M2x3 screws and they work fine for a 1.6mm PCB, but they are on the lower side of the length and shouldn't be tightened too much.
4-6mm length should be optimal.
