This connector is very common in the filmmaking industry. It’s also the pest connector ever. Flimsy, bulky, awkward, and hard to assemble. So I redesigned it and 3D printed it.

Making it all fit in the smallest form factor while still reusing already existing hardware was the hard part. The placement of the screw for instance, it’s one perimeter away from one of the internal walls. This design had been in my mind for a while now, and I put it on fusion in a few hours after grabbing the measurements of an original connector model. It’s not the most complicated model I ever made, but it’s the smallest with this many details and elements to interweave.
