Description

Idea

A simple way to secure the tripod legs with velcro straps because they always tend to flop around uncontrollably.

Design

This is my first design done in Fusion 360. 

The original design I used as a reference had lots of supports to print and was in some way not perfectly symmetrical. Another remix of it tried to alleviate this problem but there I had the problem that the velcro straps were a pain to put in. 

I created a new model from scratch based on the ideas and measurements of the other two. Redid the whole tunnel for the straps based on splines, so they are a lot easier to put in. 

Other materials

Velcro straps, 20-25 mm wide, 30 cm long with latch (see pictures)

Print settings

PETG, 0.2 mm layer height, 4 perimeters, 20% infill.

The bridging can become a bit tricky because of long bridges. I had to place object modifiers for each of the three tunnels and adjust the bridging angle for every one of those. Please refer to the pictures or the 3mf project.
