In this episode of ‘Practical Prints’, we design, build and strength test an quick release adapter for the popular EI-717AH Fluid head.
Sold under the names Cowboystudio, Weifeng /Fancier, E-image and others.
The purpose of this adapter will allow me to use the affordable 717AH quick release system on my other camera gear.
Using Fusion 360, a 3D Printer, ABS Filament, some supplies from the hardware store and a lot of trial and error, I was able to solve the need and in the was successful.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
