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:
Printer Brand:
Creality
Printer:

Rafts:
Yes
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
0.2 layer height

Notes:
I printed the phone holder in an upright position with supports. See Simplify 3D screen capture.
How I Designed This ===================A Sample Cam Video
This was designed completely in DesignSpark Mechanical. I loosely borrowed ideas from a few different designs I found on Thingiverse.
