Tripod phone holder
Print Profile(2)
Description
I wanted a project to learn FreeCad and didn't find any phone holders with tripod folding legs in this configuration. The tripod is intended to be sturdy and can extend high enough in two stages to bring put the phone camera at eye level when used on a desktop. I've refined the design a few times before release so I hope it's useful.
The three jointed arms have a pivot printed-in-place. The pins are used to connect the arm end to the core top and bottom. You can push them in using the edge of a table. A rubber band is used to provide clamping force on the phone to keep it simple. The screw bolts are M8 threads, there are two length bolts so the bolt heads will align. Screw the printed bolts in carefully and keep the threads straight, the bolts will break with excessive force… but don't need to be very tight to hold the phone up.
I printed mine in bambu labs black matte PLA on an A1mini. I've learnt a great deal about FreeCad designing this model, if you find it useful please leave a comment.
