Parametric Tripod Mount for a Flashlight

prusaprinters

<p>I wanted to use a small flashlight as a spotlight to accentuate the awesome sound-dampening panel that friends created me for Christmas for when I'm recording videos at my desk, &nbsp;so I designed a parametric solution in OpenSCAD.<br><br>After printing, I used <a href="https://amzn.to/3GzTTeP">a ¼"-20 threaded insert </a>to mount atop one of my tripods. &nbsp;At most angles, <a href="https://amzn.to/3quvJg5">my small focusable LED flashlight</a> fits well and a rubber band holds it snugly upside down.<br><br>The base of flashlight I'm using measures about 70mm long with a diameter of 27mm. &nbsp; The included STL file (<i>Flashlight Tripod Mount -- 27mm x 70mm.stl</i>) was generated using these values.<br><br>If your flashlight isn't that size, &nbsp;install a copy of <a href="https://openscad.org/">OpenSCAD</a> and make changes to these &nbsp;two variables to match your flashlight:</p><ul><li><strong>flashlight_height</strong>: &nbsp;The measurement (in mm) from the base of the bulb to the end of the flashlight.</li><li><strong>flashlight_diameter</strong>: The measurement (in mm) of the flashlight handle's diameter.</li></ul>
