Adam Jensen's Camera Armature

thingiverse

To create an eye-catching camera armature, I designed one with architectural styling inspired by Deus Ex: Human Revolution. This unique design not only showcases customization but also highlights the benefits of 3D printing. In fact, stress simulations in Solidworks revealed that a trussed part performed better than a bulk material counterpart, which is why many modern buildings feature organic-looking trusses for structural support. To print this armature, ensure the design faces upwards, and adjust the file as needed to fit your camera sight. I've included the original Solidworks file for reference. The discs at the bottom are anti-warping aids that can be removed post-printing. For best results, print with thin walls and a thick first layer to reduce warping. If using an Ultimaker and Cura, print the interior first, followed by the outer skin to avoid the trusses poking through. My armature was printed in PLA, suitable for indoor use, but an ABS version may be more durable for outdoor conditions.
