Cam/Light Tripod Pivot Head

thingiverse

there are TONS of options available for this, but every single one I saw required hardware modifications or was overly complicated. if you have flex filament on hand, you can 100% print this model without any extra hardware necessary to make it work. there's a 1/4-20 threaded pivot head specifically designed for printing with regular PLA/ABS/PETG materials, and if you don't have flex, just sink a screw/threaded rod into it. the threaded stub is too small for hard plastics, which will simply break at some point in the layering process. the design consists of a simple bolt, main body, and pivoting head. the main body features 1/4-20 threading compatible with standard camera tripods. to assemble, slide the pivot head into the main body, insert the bolt through it, and tighten to secure it in place. if you download this model, keep an eye out for any updates I may release - i'll likely revise the pivot design to minimize the need for those pesky supports that can mar the bottom of the print (as evident from my accompanying image).
