Tripod phone holder

thingiverse

This is a phone mount for tripods that I designed because I needed it to start shooting videos. OTHER MATERIALS NEEDED: -2 M8 nuts (like these https://tinyurl.com/rraxl5k) -M8 threaded rod (about 20 cm, like this https://tinyurl.com/quak8pn) -2 thumb nuts (like these https://tinyurl.com/ujtcunv) Note: I haven't used these exact components because I bought them locally, they are just exaples and I haven't verified them ASSEMBLY: -.After you've printed all the parts and cleaned them up you will need to glue the Bottom_threaded part to the Lower_body part using super glue (it'll be plenty strong don't worry). -While you keep the two pieces squeezed together drying you can cut two identical pieces of rod (about 10 cm worked for me but you can increase this if your phone is wider). -Now you have to press fit the two nuts into the Lower_body part, screw in the two previously cut pieces of rod, slide in the Left_spacer and Right_spacer with some glue on their bases to fix them to the Lower_body(maybe you will have to screw them in because they're a bit tight but this will prevent them from unscrewing). -Now you can just slide in the Upper_body and add the thumb nuts. SIDENOTES: -The thread needed to mount the support to the tripod will be 3D printed, it's a standard 1/4 UNC thread (maybe you will need to force it slightly the first time you screw it in but it'll eventually get just fine); -I've added a small chamfer to the top side of the rods and flattened the bottom one using a metal file (this is optional but it'll make the mount look nicer); Hope you guys will like this design, it also happens to be the first one I've ever uploaded. Have fun and feel free to ask questions if you have them.
