Universal joint + handle for Stead i Cam

thingiverse

This project, inspired by Frits Stead i Cam, involves printing a custom gimbal/handle instead of using commercial parts. However, if your printer isn't perfectly calibrated, a file may be necessary for assembly. The stretch plugin in Skeinforge could help, but I prefer using Slic3r. The final assembly features a tight fit that I like to maintain. Remember, it's not plug-and-play, but it's worth the effort if needed. The handle is based on Frits' design and slightly modified for an M8 rod. Required components include 4x 624 bearings, 1x 608 bearing, 8x M4x16 bolts with nuts and washers. For the handle, you'll need 8mm and 4mm studding.
