The Mini DoomScroller, a portable smartphone tripod (parametric)

Moved to GitHub2024-01-10: All future updates will come through GitHub:https://github.com/jon-le0234/DoomScrollerThe work started growing too fast to manage two projects each on Thingiverse and Printables, so moved everything into one place.Eventually updates will flow back to this repository but simply as a copy and paste of what is organized from GitHub.IntroductionThe DoomScroller was made for surviving lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic.The HopeScroller travels the world with you.Just in time for iOS 17’s StandBy feature.No more metal fasteners! Print everything you need before your next big trip.InstructionsMounting StyleClampMost users will need all files except magface.stl.Note that the clamp frame is designed to be weak on one side to prevent breaking a smartphone when tightened too much.Use HopeScroller Cut Tool.3mf to estimate the length needed to cut Clamp frame.stl. See Cut section below.MagSafeIf you want to use the MagSafe charger, then print magface.stl and remove the following:Clamp frame.stlClamp movable jaw.stlclamp-nut.stlAssemblySee photo gallery to follow along with assembly instructions.Insert torso.stl and neck.stl so that hinges are flush on both sides.Insert hip-bolt.stl into the unthreaded side of the hinge, then screw into the M12 thread of neck.stl to tighten hinge.Place ball.stl into the spherical section in neck.stl.Place ball-joint-nut.stl over ball.stl, and screw onto the M22 thread of neck.stl to tighten.Screw the selected mount into the M12 thread of ball.stl.If using magface.stl, skip to step 9.Insert Clamp movable jaw.stl over Clamp frame.stl.Screw clamp-nut.stl onto the M15 thread of Clamp frame.stl.Place left-leg-threaded.stl on the underside of the joint on torso.stl. It will sit between torso.stl and neck.stl when folded.Place right-leg-unthreaded.stl on the opposite side of the torso joint.(Optional) Use leg-bolt-washer.stl on top of right-leg-unthreaded.stl. This adds length for leg-bolt.stl, and adds another option for mixing colours.Insert leg-bolt.stl through right-leg-unthreaded and screw into M12 thread of left-leg-threaded.stl.It is finished! Print RecommendationsColoursYou can choose whichever colour scheme you like! I’ve printed HopeScrollers in monochrome, two-tone, and rainbow.Found the two-tone to be received best by beta testers, so I’ve organized the files into folders “Main Colour” and “Accent Colour.”MaterialsPLA works great!PETG is a little too flexible and bouncy.SupportsI set the following PrusaSlicer settings for easier removal of supports (see screenshot in gallery):Snug for “Style” is better than Organic for this model.90º for “Pattern angle” exposes the snug supports' folds.0.3 mm for both “Top contact Z distance” and “Bottom contact Z distance.2 layers for both “Top interface layers” and “Bottom interface layers.”Updates2023-10-31: Added plate files for full project and two-tone, divided between main and accent colours. Includes supports and other slicer settings. Consider importing as models only since the speeds are lower. My MK3S has a problem with shifting layers caused by high speeds/accelerations/jerk, etc.2023-11-10: Uploading a parametric Fusion360 model, DoomScroller Parametric Clamp.f3d, for customizing the clamp's frame and movable jaw for your smartphone. Should be easier to customize a clamp for your phone's unique dimensions, including cases/Pop Sockets/magnetic plates/camera bumps. I'll still produce a few combos, and this file will make it easier.Also changing the name because HopeScroller doesn't really roll off the tongue the same way as DoomScroller.
