Water Bottle Steady Cam V3

thingiverse

V3 . . . Built a non-moving bottom cradle for the phone. It's now securely attached to the main frame, resulting in an even more robust design. V2 weakest point was around the pivot joint. The old version is still available for download. Added a longer version of the top phone holder designed specifically for larger phones. This marks my "First" 3D design project. I'm brand new to 3D printing! I was searching for an inexpensive and compact steady cam solution. I wanted the design to be comprised of affordable parts, with most printed on a home 3D printer. The bottom of the design is constructed to hold a water or pop bottle as a counter weight. I used DesignSpark Mechanical to create the parts and Simplify 3D to slice them. The parts were printed on an Ender 3 printer. Additional components needed: 1. 2 ABEC 7 skateboard bearings. (I found suitable ones in a dollar store fidget spinner.) 2. A hair elastic for phone holder stability 3. 3 M4 x 20mm bolts and nuts.
