Logitech C270 camera holder on tripod adapter

thingiverse

I had a clear idea for positioning my C270 camera in front of my Prusa i3 Mk3S. I needed a foldable tripod with a flexible arm between the tripod and the camera, but couldn't find anything on Thingiverse that met my expectations perfectly. I decided to design an adapter piece connecting two existing designs. I started by using JSDesigns' great tripod design, which can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:325876. I printed it in original Prusament PETG orange so it fits the printer's design perfectly. Next, I turned to luc_e's very nicely done articulated arm from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1228521. I loaded one piece of the arm into FreeCad and designed a new part with the same dimensions as the arm part on one side, but added a cylinder and a base ring that fits exactly in JSDesigns' tripod. This adapter part is what's being posted here; other parts shown are from either of the above-mentioned postings. I printed two pieces to test a 2mm overhanging base ring without support. The surface quality on the lower side of the ring isn't perfect, but it looks nicer with a 2mm ring. Happy reprinting!
