Tripod Nut Adapter Component

This is a component meant to be joined to another 3D model so that you can insert a nut and mount it on a tripod. You could stick this on one of the many phone cases here on Thingiverse, for example.

If you are not comfortable with 3D modelling software you can just use MakerWare to print this so that it's slightly overlapping another object. I tested this process and "designed" a tripod mount version of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:76286 in about 2 minutes. It's almost done printing now.

This nut adapter is designed with a little clip to stop the nut from falling out.
