Action Camera Flex Bubble Tripod

pinshape

Updated 12/10/16 See Notes at Bottom Flexible bubble ball joint tripod for action cameras that use common GoPro style mounting platform works with all GoPro Hero model cameras & Session, SJCam, Xiaomi Yi, and other clone cameras. The M5 Acorn Nut can be purchased at any hardware store or bought here on Amazon Prime for cheap http://amzn.to/2haU1Jw. This uses standard M5 GoPro style mount thumb screws. I separated each part into individual files so you can group the build as needed for your printer bed and set the leg section count. Print: 1x Tripod Top (Updated 12/8/16) 1x Tripod 3x Leg Sections minimum (Just print more leg sections for longer legs, print in other colors to mix it up!) 3x Feet Snap together you and get a cool Ball-Joint Bubble Tripod that works with the GoPro style mounting platform! *12/17/16 I added a 2nd file for the Feet "Tripod Foot Updated EASY.stl" This can be some what hard to print for some printers so I made the easy foot model with a flat bottom so it's less likely to become separated from the build surface while printing, even with a raft it becomes detached from the raft while printing. This keeps that from happening and you can print without a raft or brim. I am leaving both files so you have your choice of foot. *Update 12/10/16 Updated all files corrected all mesh separation issues. I also made other mostly cosmetic changes to the Tripod Top. This design is a little more sound. Acorn Nut bore is tight so the nut stays in place without the bolt. Install the nut in the bore using the screw first, install any 2 fork end mount as if mounting the camera (so you don't break the ears), and use the screw to pull the nut into the bore.
