Smartphone mount for camera tripod [3D Print]

I needed a smartphone mount for my tripod, so I designed this from a sketch using Fusion 360. I know there are relatively cheaper smartphone mounts for tripod out there in the market, but I just can't help to make one myself to learn.

STL file is available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4309896

In fill: 70% for the middle part and 20% for rest
Nozzle: 0.4 mm
Layer high: 0.2 mm

For people who like to use this STL file, please be aware that not each tripod mount base has the same dimension, so, I highly recommend you to measure the base before 3D print.

Also, for the middle part, please use 70% infill to make the clip part stronger.



After couple of days struggling with Fusion 360, I was able to make the thing!! :)

My draft sketch about the mount design.

For the base, I printed 3-4 times to perfectly match my camera tripod. I think this is due to the precision of my Ender 3 Pro printer or PLA material.
After assembled the 3 parts together

Mount smartphone on the printed mount, perfect!

Place the smartphone mount on the camera tripod
