Friction Lock Phone Mount

I really liked the concept of the Handlebar/Tube phone mount but needed it to fit my larger Iphone 13 Pro Max (with dry case for kayaking) and for it to mate to a friction lock mount for my kayak. I use a Bluetooth remote shutter trigger to catch picks of the fish I catch.

I designed this from scratch using the concept of the original and made a few improvements that the original could use. These improvements are to add a 45 degree chamfer to the threaded Ball and Phone_Arm so that they mate to their respective nuts easier, and to add some margin to the threaded parts so that more printers will print parts that actually fit together. Hope some folks find this remix helpful.

Note: In the BallClamp1/2 I added a single layer bridge so that they could be printed with the ball relief areas facing upwards without supports.

To use this design as I do on my kayak, download the following STL files to mount to a kayak track system:

Notes:

After printing, the surfaces tend to be glossy with the PETG I used. A little bit of sanding to rough up the ball surfaces and the BallClamp1/2 parts that mate to the balls helps the joints grip better.
