Mini Tripods

thingiverse

Small compact tripod, its folding legs are engineered to print in a single piece without any support material required. This print is considered challenging and may be difficult to execute successfully with some printers. Several mounting options are available, including a standard 1/4-20 tripod mount, a hotshoe mount, and a phone mount designed for phones equipped with centered audio jacks. Note: Using the audio jack as a phone mount could potentially damage the phone itself. The ball portion of the ballhead is threaded, making it essential to align the threads carefully before tightening to prevent thread stripping. Parts Needed: 1/4-20 x 3/8 Hex Bolt [ebay]* - required for attaching the ball head to the tripod legs and for the standard mount. Bolts can vary in length.
