iphone camera mount for Makergear M2 - Lockable ball & socket

thingiverse

I created this iphone holder to do time lapse captures of prints. on my makergear M2 it mounts on the left corner in front of the Z axis knob. It was created using an iphone 5S, however you can easily adjust the phone size in the "PhoneMount.scad" file (the variables are at the start of the file) the threaded nut and ball socket design allows you to lock the mount in place once you have it in position by tightening the threaded nuts. You can add as many ball socket extensions as you want for added flexibility. The threads were generated using threads.scad by Dan Kirshner http://dkprojects.net/openscad-threads/threads.scad Post-Printing Assembly When assembling the Ball and Nut, you need to pass the nut over the ball end and then place the tapered inserts under the ball, this may take a bit of fiddling, but I found it pretty easy to do.
