Universal Clamp Mount For Cellphones, Cameras, Etc

thingiverse

I wanted a way to secure an internet-accessible webcam to my printer for monitoring prints remotely. I found the universal bottle mount that attaches any phone/camera/similarly sized object to a bottle cap. I modified it by mirroring the bottom pivot to eliminate the bottle cap side, leaving two pivots instead. This allows for two universal clamping ends - one for an old cellphone and one for clamping to the printer. Assembled with a 1 1/2″ and a 4″ carriage bolt on each side of the central pivot (plus 6 nuts) was perfect for my needs, but you could use longer or shorter bolts as required. This is only the central pivot that I modified. You will also need two every file except for "Bottom_pivot.stl" from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:631222/, which is the imperial version I changed. Alternatively, get two of every file except for "Tilt_cap.stl" from the original metric version at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:33940, using M8 and M3 hardware. I haven't tested my modified bottom pivot / tilt cap with metric parts but it should work with some modification. Print Settings: Printer: Monoprice Maker Select Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.25 Infill: 10% Notes: This can be printed standing up or laying down, either way works fine with supports.
