About
I wanted a different way to carry my Hamina Clip than the way it ships, so I made one. This adapter bolts to the back of the Clip and captures a 1/4-20 nut in a pocket, which means anything built for a camera now fits: a tripod, a Peak Design plate, the clamp you already own. If you want the Clip on a stand, on your bag strap, or on a pole for a quick survey, this is the part.
Print it in PETG, ABS, or ASA. The Clip puts off real heat while it runs, and PLA sitting against it will go soft. I printed mine on a Prusa MK4S in both PETG and ASA and both held up. Slice at 0.1 or 0.15 mm; the curves look right at that height and stepped at 0.2. Default walls and infill are fine.
The nut is captured mid-print, so you need a pause. Where that pause lands depends on your layer height and your slicer. Scrub through the preview yourself and find the layer where the pocket closes over. Do not take a layer number from me or from anyone else's profile.
- Slice at 0.1 or 0.15 mm in PETG, ABS, or ASA.
- In the slicer preview, find the last layer where the nut pocket is still open and add a pause there.
- At the pause, drop a 1/4-20 nut into the pocket and resume.
- When the print finishes, punch through the single layer covering each of the four screw holes. That layer is there so the part prints with no supports.
- Mount it to the Clip with four M2.5x12 screws. The screws that came with the Clip are too short.
The file is one 3MF with two bodies: the adapter plate at 73.5 x 51.5 x 13.2 mm, and a 0.2 mm sheet that closes the nut pocket so the print can bridge over the nut.
