Description

The Mini Tripod for DSLR and Digital cameras offers a full 360 degree rotation plus 180 degrees of tilt and is exactly what I was looking for specifically for 3D scanning. It also locks down well, once you add the noted washer to the deck screw.
In addition, it looks valuable and fantastic.

My extension allows using a mobile phone instead of a camera.
The maximum supported phone width is 80mm, and the minimum is 50mm. The maximum thickness is 10mm.

I don't want to go unmentioned that I took over two parts from Tripod Phone Stand (no screw!).

PRINTING INFORMATION

  • I printed all parts with PLA
  • 0.2mm layer height
  • without supports.
  • For most parts I used 25% infill. Only for screws and nuts 100% infill.

ORIGINAL PARTS YOU NEED  

You use all the original Mini Tripod parts except head.stl. I replaced this original part with head-modified.stl. It is compatible with the original, only two screw holes have been added.

The author of the original Mini Tripod made a longer list of nuts and bolts required. I didn't buy these but printed matching ones. If you haven't printed and assembled the original Mini Tripod yet, you can use the included all-bolts-and-nuts.stl. 
Of course printed screws are not as stable as metal screws, but for my purposes these are sufficient. I wouldn't use it with an expensive camera though. So, like me, use these at your own risk. And don't over tighten the printed screws.

BUILD INSTRUCTIONS

  • Everything is self-explanatory, just screws and nuts. If in doubt, refer to the pictures of the original Mini Tripod for directions.
  • The rubber washers are absolutely necessary or the head will not have enough grip to hold the assembly. (I used 2mm thick foam rubber instead. Works!)

Enjoy!

And maybe you would like to support me with a small donation. Feel free to use the support button on the top right of this page. I myself donate one or two Euros to each designer for an interesting model that is worth five stars to me.
