Hey, you 3D printers....

[Gerry52]

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.

FYI… your local library might be able to. They printed my last item for $2.

I'd do it at no charge for you, brother! Send me the stl or other file & I'd be happy to print a couple out for you at no charge! We gotta look out for one another, always but especially in these divisive times.

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)

Is there another file format or download for the model? My computer won't open it, nor will the computer of a friend of mine that I sent the file to who 3D prints a lot.

I know less than zero about 3D printing & while searching for the adapter plate I happened to find the site with those "files". I figured I'd let you guys who know about 3D figure out if they're usable. I guess not. Gotta say, just having guys from the forum jump in to try to help is ALMOST as great as having the plate itself! I love how most of us help each other out here. Being of service to each other maintains a thread of CIVILITY that is so lacking elsewhere nowadays.
THANKS to those who responded!!!

My pleasure, brother, & I wholeheartedly agree with what you said re: civility! I'll try to find a file for it tomorrow & will lyk.

Did you try sending it to one of the sites that repairs .stl files.

Your slicer dosen't support. 3mf files?
If that's the case I may be able to convert it or I can print it for him.

 

[Gerry52]

You guys don't even know me & yet you invest your time to help. How cool is that? Out of respect I have to divulge that I'm a serial killer (of Ground Squirrels! )

I'm printing one now. We @HooXX DVM Airgunner are both on the east coast so the same shipping time. If you want the one printing I can drop in the mail Monday.
Just need an address.

If you or any others ever have ideas to create parts like this and can’t find a model for what you need, I’m happy to model something up and send it your way for testing / fit. I often work with members of the community to design parts to meet their needs. Once we confirm the design works, I’ll offer it on the site if it’s the right kind of part to fit our lineup.
