Small table tripod for compact cameras or cell phones.
The small tripod is ideal for recording assembly or application videos, for example for animated gifs.
Special feature: The ball head is printed with shell in mounted condition.
The following additional components are required:
- M5x20 hexagon bolt
- M5 nut
- M5 fusible thread
- Melt-in thread 1/4 inch (camera thread)
- Camera adapter 1/4 inch male/male
The ball and the bowl are printed together.
It is important that the printing is not done upside down but with the legs facing downwards as shown on the plate. The inside of the shell/sphere is designed so that it does not require any internal support structures.
Please note that this is a difficult print for which the printer and material must be very well calibrated and the settings must be correct. Otherwise the ball may not detach from the shell.
PLA should be used as the material. Unfortunately, it does not work with PETG, as the ball cannot be detached from the shell after printing.
If the ball cannot be detached from the shell by turning after printing, it may be necessary to press a little in the gap with a sharp screwdriver.
II have also developed a cell phone holder with which you can use the cell phone to the tripod.
Have fun rebuilding it.
