Description
I wanted a way to steadily hold my phone in the center of my magnifying lamp so I could get overhead shots of me making stuff. The model is parametric so you can enter the dimensions of your lamp and camera bump to get a model that fits yours. The uploaded file fits my phone (iPhone 13 mini) and lamp. There is also an OBJ that is made for my GoPro Hero 8.
Feel free to request models and I can make adjustments if you're unable to edit files in CAD software.
Printed in place in PLA with no supports. I increased the vertical shell layers so the alignment overhangs would be solid. Originally had a full circle around the edges, but needed to be able to rotate it slightly to get better angles or to make room for the lamp's boom arm attachment point. I found it helpful to add little rubber feet to prevent it from slipping. Larger phones may require some counterweighting to help prevent the whole plate from flipping off.
