SELFIE-STIK

cults3d

This 'Selfie-Stik' is completely 3D printed in multiple parts, making it easy to assemble and fold away into a compact size that fits comfortably in your palm. It then extends out to approximately 37.5cm in length, perfect for snapping selfies with ease. Simply pair the Selfie-Stik with your mobile phone's self-timer function (most phones have this feature built-in), and you're ready to go - no need to worry about a separate button-pressing mechanism. Using the Selfie-Stik is a practical and low-cost way to have a compact, lightweight selfie stick on hand whenever you need it. When printed and assembled correctly, it works beautifully. However, to achieve the best results, you'll want to ensure your 3D printer is well-set up and calibrated, with precise slicing settings and high infill levels for added strength. To assemble your Selfie-Stik, simply insert your phone into the mount and tighten the bolt against it with moderate pressure - be careful not to apply too much force, which could damage your device. Once secure, set your phone's self-timer and start snapping selfies to your heart's content. The angles designed into the Selfie-Stik give it a slight bend backward, as well as an angled phone mount that ensures the handle remains out of frame in your photos. This clever design makes for seamless and distraction-free selfies. Before printing the entire set of parts, take some time to print and assemble the smaller components first - this will allow you to check their fit, rotation, thread quality, and screw-tightening functionality before proceeding with the rest of the assembly process. At first, your Selfie-Stik may seem a bit flexible or lacking in strength. However, PLA is known for its unique combination of brittleness and strength - as long as you don't apply excessive pressure, a well-printed Selfie-Stik with high infill settings should perform admirably.
