Water Bottle Steady Cam V3

V3 . . . Created a non-moving bottom holder for the phone. It's now joined to the main frame. A more durable design. V2 weakest point was around the pivot joint. The old version is still there for download. Added a long version of the top phone holder for larger phones. This my "First" 3D design. I am brand new to 3D printing! I was looking for a inexpensive and compact steady cam. I wanted the design to be comprised of inexpensive parts and to be mostly 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 design the parts and used Simplify 3D to slice. The parts were printed on an Ender 3 printer. Other parts needed: 2 ABEC 7 skateboard bearings. (I found 2 suitable ones in a dollar store fidget spinner. Hair elastic (for phone holder) 3 M4 x 20mm bolts and nuts. Print Settings Printer Brand: Creality Printer: Ender 3 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 layer height Infill: 30 % Filament: CCTREE PLA Blue Notes: I printed the phone holder in an upright position with supports. See Simplify 3D screen capture. How I Designed This =================== A Sample Cam Video This was designed completely in DesignSpark Mechanical. I loosely borrowed ideas from a few different designs I found on Thingiverse. Category: Camera
