For today's project, I put together several unique techniques and mechanisms into one miniature articulated tripod. These are all original ideas and I am excited to present them to you. The tripod consists of three sections; hyperboloid ring, articulated tripod head, and phone clamp. Each takes advantage of the unique properties of 3D printing or 3D printing material; the hyperboloid ring uses printing within a 3D print to achieve a free-spinning inner ball mechanism or hinges on the tripod head using the friction between TPU filament.
