Tripod for models and gaming

I built this tripod for my Sci Fi Slug Thrower model, available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2483959. The Slug Thrower itself is designed for 15mm to 18mm scale, but I imagine the tripod could work up to 28mm. You can use the included mount if you prefer to drill a hole in it to accept a 3mm post. Keep in mind that there isn't much detail, so if you scale it up past 28mm, you might need to remix and add some. If you'd rather create your own mount, the two rectangular holes are 2x4mm with 2mm spacing. I made them slightly oversized for easy insertion and removal. Print at .2mm resolution, but avoid overextrusion or the pieces may fit too tightly together. Once assembled, you can choose to glue everything in place or leave it adjustable. When snapping the tripod together, make sure to insert the joints straight and take note of where the center vertical support piece is located on each ball joint.
