Mini tripods remixed

thingiverse

A minor modification to this great thing: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1165406 Rather than printing these tripods as one piece, I separated the pieces and then pressed them together when done. When printed in ABS, the part is flexible enough that the legs can be pressed into the base without breaking either part. Warning, it does take some effort to get them together. I added a couple of new pieces. The first is an adjustment knob for the 1/4-20 camera mount. This allows you to use a longer screw or a camera with a shallow mount hole. The threads need to be tapped after printing. The second is a knob to use a 6-32 nut instead of a 4mm screw. Lastly, I modified the base to support the legs just like this part does, but without requiring a separate part: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1250602 Print Settings Printer: Core XY Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 50% Notes: To make sure the base will not split when inserting the legs, make sure the top layer is at least 1mm thick and infill is at least 50%.
