Description

PDF

This one only has 4 parts. Additionally you'll need to insert two: M3 x 5mm heatset inserts. The only screws needed are two: M3 x 10mm. 

The knurled nut and mating thread on the Threaded Jaw are offered in both  right hand and left hand thread so pick your poison. The thing with the big slot in it is an adapter to hold a Logi camera, which lacks a screw mount in its base (see photo). The big holes in the  brackets can be tapped ¼-20 for a standard camera screw.

Printing:

The Top Jaw needs to be printed with support ‘touching buildplate’

All other parts can be printed without support

For good strength print with 100% fill

I used PLA but any non-flexing filament should work fine.

Assembly:

Remove support from the Top Jaw and press in the two: M3 x 5mm heatset inserts

Slide the knurled nut onto the Top Jaw from the bottom

Add  the Threaded Jaw making sure its vee groove aligns with the vee bump on the Top Jaw

Using the two: M3 x 10mm bolts attach a bracket. Use the long bracket for bulky cameras. If you have to, fasten the Logi Adapter to the short bracket with a ¼-20 screw and use it instead of the long bracket.   

Turn the nut as needed to snug the jaws to a shelf.
