Iphone 6 Gorilla Pod tripod mount

thingiverse

I wanted a quick stand and tripod mount for my iPhone six. I wanted the device to be able to take the phone in its silicone case in both portrait and landscape orientation. I wanted the device to be able to hold the phone upright on a table on its own and to be able to use it with a small tripod. I have a couple of Joby Gorilla pods and wanted to use the quick release mechanism. I thought about making a case that had a screw hole to attach to the existing quick release plate. But I felt 3d printing the ¼-20 thread would not be very strong, and it would be just as easy to design the holder with a built in quick release plate. Print Settings Printer Brand: Type A Machines Printer: 2014 Series 1 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: .14 Infill: 70% Notes: Sliced in simplify 3D 4 shell layers top, bottom and walls printed in PLA, 220c heated bed at 75c 5400mm/min How I Designed This I designed this in Fusion 360. I took a photo of the gorilla pod quick release plate then imported that into fusion as a Canvas. After calibrating the size I used the canvas to trace an outline of the shape. Then it was a case of making some measurements and a few test prints to get the fit right for both the phone and the quick release plate.
