Iphone 6 Gorilla Pod tripod mount

thingiverse

I needed a fast stand and tripod mount for my iPhone six. The device had to take the phone in its silicone case in both portrait and landscape orientation. It also had to hold the phone upright on a table by itself and work with a small tripod. I already have a couple of Joby Gorilla pods, so I wanted to use their quick release mechanism. At first, I thought about making a case that had a screw hole to attach to the existing quick release plate. However, I felt that 3d printing the ¼-20 thread would not be very strong, and it was just as easy to design the holder with a built-in quick release plate. Print Settings: Printer Brand: Type A Machines Printer: 2014 Series 1 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: .14 Infill: 70% Notes: Sliced in simplify 3D, 4 shell layers top, bottom and walls, printed in PLA, 220c heated bed at 75c, 5400mm/min I designed this project in Fusion 360. I took a photo of the gorilla pod quick release plate then imported that into fusion as a canvas. After calibrating the size I used the canvas to trace an outline of the shape. Then it was a case of making some measurements and a few test prints to get the fit right for both the phone and the quick release plate.
