When I originally designed my Virtual Boy Tripod Kit, it was the most complicated design I had done up to that point. However to make everything work I needed metal nuts and screw, plus an elastic band to hold everything together.
Since I started modeling my own screws, I wanted to go back to this kit and re-design it to be properly 100% 3D printed without loosing the functionality.
And this was my result. The body’s shape is pretty much the same. However I am so please with how the mechanism works for the lock nut and thumb screw.
The screws are a bit tricky to print. But man this is so cool to slim this down.
Depends on the tripod. Being able to have something more sturdy hold it is fantastic, but since it’s juts a 1/4” adapter you can adapt it to anything.
