<p>This is based on a flexible design using ¼-20 bolts and nuts and 1/2in schedule 40 PVC Pipe. &nbsp;I'll publish a collection of all the different generic Joints that I design in another model.<br><br>Here we have a 1 joint or 2 joint Camera Arm with a standard 1/4in-20 thread at the end.</p><p>The base swivels, each joint rotates and locks (working on improving the holding strength of V1), and each PVC rod can rotate (and be screwed in).<br><br>I provide the Fusion 360 file if you want to make any other custom mods..&nbsp;<br><br>The .stl's are provided as full plates. &nbsp;You will want to either print the 1 Joint, or 2 Joint plates, along with the Rotating Base Plate. &nbsp;If you want the individual components use the "split to objects" function of prusa slicer, or I will provde them as part of the collection of all parts in another model.</p><figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Model</td><td>Infill Setting</td><td>Print Setting</td><td>g Filament</td><td>Print Time</td><td>~Cost</td></tr><tr><td>Rotating Base Plate</td><td>10 pct Gyroid</td><td>.15mm Quality</td><td style="text-align:right;">109.6</td><td>14h24m</td><td style="text-align:right;">$3.05</td></tr><tr><td>2 Joint Base Plate</td><td>15 pct Gyroid</td><td>.15mm Quality</td><td style="text-align:right;">97.9</td><td>13h 38m</td><td style="text-align:right;">2.72</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p>Here are the Bolts Used for the 2 Joint base (1 joint model would be 6 Nuts, 3 Carriage Bolts, 2 Hex bolts):</p><figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Part Name</td><td>Qty</td><td>Approx Cost</td><td>May Be Marked</td></tr><tr><td>1/4in-20 Hex nut</td><td style="text-align:right;">9</td><td style="text-align:right;">0.81</td><td>AAB</td></tr><tr><td>1/4in-20 x 1-1/2in Carriage Bolt</td><td style="text-align:right;">4</td><td style="text-align:right;">0.88</td><td>AEA</td></tr><tr><td>1/4in-20 x3/4in Hex Bolt</td><td style="text-align:right;">4</td><td style="text-align:right;">0.64</td><td>ACC</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p>I'll add mounts for GoPro, and Lifcams shortly as well.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
