This adapter allows you to attach some MLok-based accessories to a Keymod rail.
Due to PLA and PETG not being strong enough (at least in my opinion) to accommodate a full MLok section, I have cut it into two smaller sections in order to fit another Keymod hook on the other side. This distributes the stress over three hooks instead of just two while keeping the profile of the adapter relatively slim.
Due to the nature of most MLok accessories, you almost never need a full MLok section as they are usually attached by two screws with the retainers that rotate 90°, and usually they are spaced to fit right into this model. One example is the Olight Odin MLok attachment for which I designed this adapter.
Since I'm no expert in 3d modeling, Cura will detect some errors in the model. The latest versions of Cura will print the model just fine though.
I recommend printing the adapter standing upright to get optimal layer strength as this would put most of the stress along the layers in
