Took some pictures of my 3D Printed Galaxy S5 Tripod Mount. The mount has a slot for a standard nut that fits the 1/4 inch threadings on a camera post, so that it will work on any tripod (or anything that mounts a camera).
I designed it in a way that prints easily (i.e. no overhangs) with the layers running 90 degrees from the flex for maximum strength. The phone easily clicks into a secure position, but can be popped out by pressing on the top grip to release the flex.
The S5 takes amazing pictures and I like to use it for my YouTube videos because it posts easily to the web. The tripod allows me to have a stable platform and set the best angle for my pictures and videos.
Designed in SketchUp and 3D printed on my Up Plus 2

Nice print Can’t imagine a 3D printer, want a gadget, just print it. What a great time we live in; now if we can just print spare parts for our bodies, that would be incredible.
@Cynthia Use the search word “bioprinting,” Cynthia to see what is being done in printing models of organs along with printing bone, connective tissue and other body parts. Also search “bioprinting infographic” for additional insights. Mouse hearts have been produced, and a kidney is actively being researched. Lastly, go to ExplainingTheFuture.com : Bioprinting for solid knowledge that will transform medicine.
@Cynthia#bioprinting and #3dprinting in general is in the same phase of impact on business practices, startups and job-creation as were microelectronics and microcomputing in the mid-70s. If you can define what is the “right place at the right time,” you can start the next HP, IBM, Apple or MS and define new jobs in “Printer Alley.”
That would be the trick wouldn’t it? I wish I had the foresight. This sounds like a phrase used in 3-D printing, “Printer Alley?” What am I missing here, I am coming to this late in the game I think.
+Cynthia Trench Foresight comes from studying trends, understanding problems that #3dprinting might solve, overcoming pre-judgements (back in the 70s, the question raged “Who needs a microcomputer?”) and defining your niche. The Web enables learning and developing your flavor of foresight. Get into the #3dprinting “sandbox” to see what you might build.
Sorry; “Printer Alley” was a lame play of words from “Silicon Valley.”
I think it’s Nashville that has “Printer’s Alley” is what threw me, very popular in publishing newspapers and more in it’s day, large number of printers in small area. Became night spots. So, not so lame play on words.
