Nexus S tripod mount

thingiverse

Crude and unrefined, but I expect I might save someone a few hours designing one from scratch. I needed a tripod mount for my Nexus S, preferably a very secure one (it's a long way to the hard floor below) so most of the other similar prints available on Thingiverse were unsuitable. It might fit other similar sized phones, but I don't have their dimensions to say for sure. Since it's held down by a screw, there is little to no chance of the phone falling out of it. The quick release pad has been made to fit the dimensions of a Rekam DigiPod RT-M45 tripod, and I don't know if a standard exists for those. Instructions Print, either one by one or in a set. The set should fit on a Makerbot. The nut is assumed to be an M6 nut -- as you can plainly see, it does not fit the 1/4" standard tripod screw, but 1/4" nuts are hard to come by in my metric country. It does, however, stick somewhat securely. When you're using it with the quick release pad, you just screw them together with a short M6 screw. The clamps are held together by an M4 screw+nut, and releasing or setting up the phone requires the use of a screwdriver.
