Car Phone-Camera Mount

prusaprinters

<p>The main goal was to minimize the requirement of off-the-shelf components, to make majority of the assembly 3d printable.</p><p>The following components are included:</p><ol><li>the mount<ol><li>to headrest</li><li>pole-to-pole (for 90 degree bends, allowing height and depth control)</li><li>to phone mount (that uses a spherical joint)</li></ol></li><li>the lever<ol><li>straight (easier to print)</li><li>90deg (primarily for headrest since you may not have room for the straight lever)</li></ol></li><li>the intermediate lock (that tensions the mount)<ol><li>standard</li><li>shorter (in case the standard is too tight)</li></ol></li></ol><p>You'll need to buy a 3/8in pipe (around 9mm dia) to connect it all together.</p><p>To print the mounts, a good idea is to maximise the number of perimeters. Print without supports. Break off the tabs on the intermediate lock and 90deg lever after printing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here's the result of the camera mount during one of our AutoX runs.</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_vGYdL0Qy8"></oembed></figure>
