Water Bottle Steady Cam V3

thingiverse

V3 . . . Created a non-moving bottom holder for the phone. It's now joined to the main frame. A more durable design. V2 weakest point was around the pivot joint. The old version is still there for download. Added a long version of the top phone holder for larger phones. This my "First" 3D design. I am brand new to 3D printing! I was looking for a inexpensive and compact steady cam. I wanted the design to be comprised of inexpensive parts and to be mostly printed on a home 3D printer. The bottom of the design is constructed to hold a water or pop bottle as a counter weight. I used DesignSpark Mechanical to design the parts and used Simplify 3D to slice. The parts were printed on an Ender 3 printer. Other parts needed: 1. 2 ABEC 7 skateboard bearings. (I found 2 suitable ones in a dollar store fidget spinner. 2. Hair elastic (for phone holder) 3. 3 M4 x 20mm bolts and nuts.
