Hey, you 3D printers....

Can anyone out there help? I have a Quantaray (by Sunpak) 8500 tripod that needs an adapter plate for my Chrony. I have a link to printable files. Can anyone give me an estimate if I send you the files? Damn, these adapters are HARD to find! Got the tripod for $4.99. Not looking to spend megabucks on adapter plate.
Here you go, Gerry52- they're printed!!

Here are the tripod adapters Gerry52 needed & that I printed for him (as did another AGN member). This is what AGN members do for one another, without any personal or financial gain, simply because we're good humans & decent Americans helping one another out when one's in need. That's I think the best anyone can strive for & ask of another. I feel blessed to be a part of this forum.

I can also offer you and other members free prints depending on complexity and with a supplied .stl file. I can print in several different engineering filaments as needed for your application. I'm not a 3d printing service, just a simple airgunner with a great printer. (Bambu X1c Carbon)
I need to get a Bambu- heard they're awesome!

I shipped your 2 adapters yesterday, brother! Really enjoyed seeing & being a part of this thread! The comraderie, good will & support shown here are so pleasing to see.
 
I'm thinking of getting 2, 3 is a lot!
Get one and see how much you use it. I don't find that I do, but maybe I'm atypical. Also, PLA doesn't like to sit in the AMS, rewind and reload as needed, but don't let it set or you'll be fishing the broken pieces out.

I pretty much only use PLA from the rear spool now, and use other materials (mostly ASA) from the AMS.

Thanks so much! I'll let you know when it shows up. I posted a short while ago, AGN, I came to learn about airguns but I stay because of the members!

I love that advice- because I normally go out & buy all the upgrades, top-tier, every accessory, etc. But great advice- I'll get one with 4 color options & go from there!

With 3 AMS's the possibilities are endless. Here is just a small sample of multi colored printing.
