iPhone XR Tripod

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

I created this as an exercise to make a fully 3D printable phone tripod with no hardware required. It uses several techniques and design styles I have come to appreciate over the years. It will ft an iPhone XR with a case and some other phones that are between 70 and 84 mm wide with or without a case.
This version is fully 3D printable with supports and was designed with tight tolerances for my Prusa i3 (i.e. 0.1 mm clearance between moving parts that are print-in-place) so your printer and/or slicer will need to be dialed in. The legs snap on to the snap pin pegs and fold up for storage.
I may revise this design at a future date to make a fully printable support-less model.
Techniques:

Ball/Socket Joints
Limited/Restricted motion (leg lock)
