Mini Ball Tripod 1/4" Thread

thingiverse

I was seeking out a compact tripod that could be used for capturing macro shots with my EOS 400D DSLR camera. Drawing inspiration from another ball and cup design concept, I scaled up the original idea and modified the clamp mechanism, adding legs to create a fully functional tripod and mount that securely holds my camera in place. The BallHousing and BallHousing base fit together snugly, requiring only gentle screwing and unscrewing to achieve a secure connection. Although I encountered some issues with the thread on the ball-cup clamping system, resulting in a left-handed twist, this minor setback didn't bother me. When working with IceSL, I discovered that using wing supports yields excellent results, producing clean and precise 3D prints.
