I originally printed the amazing model this is based on to hold my phone while using it's camera. Only after I printed it did I realize i needed my phone camera no more than 6 inches off the ground, so i remodelled the base of the ball joint, scrapped the legs (and extra pins and screws) and reprinted this version. It's stable enough and holds my phone at the perfect height with lots of adjustability in terms of angles.

 

I printed the ball joint base with the legs at the bottom and the vice base with the ball at the top (5% support on build plate).

The screws should be printed with 100% infill to make them more durable, but its not fully necessary. Also, I printed this in PLA with 10% infill and it's been fine so far, but PETG would definitely make it more durable.
