iphone camera mount for Makergear M2 - Lockable ball & socket

thingiverse

I crafted this iPhone holder specifically for time-lapse captures of prints on my MakerGear M2, mounting snugly in the left corner ahead of the Z-axis knob.\nIt was designed using an iPhone 5S, and you can easily scale up or down in size within the "PhoneMount.scad" file - just tweak those variables at the beginning of the document.\nThe clever threaded nut and ball socket system lets you secure the mount once it's perfectly positioned with a quick tighten of the threaded nuts.\nYou can customize this feature to your liking by adding more ball socket extensions for ultimate flexibility.\nThe threads used here are a result of Threads.scad, a nifty OpenSCAD library by Dan Kirshner - http://dkprojects.net/openscad-threads/threads.scad\nAfter Printing Your iPhone Holder\nFinal Assembly Details\n To assemble the Ball and Nut parts with precision, insert the nut onto the ball end first and then position the tapered inserts beneath the ball - a bit of fiddling may be required, but it shouldn't be too tough.
