This is a general purpose tripod that I created to hold a banner for my wife's band 'Still Current'.

UPDATE 1: Added openSCAD file for connectors and tripod base.

I wanted something quick to print and fast to setup. There are only three parts.

1) The top base (2 needed) is also used as the leg support slider. There is a screw hole so you can fix the top base while allowing the bottom base to slide freely to fold up the tripod. I used a 1/2" screw on the top base and used a drill to increase the screw hole to hide the screw head. ( I should have done this in the CAD program but forgot, will update later ).

2) The connector (6 needed) to connect the legs and leg supports. I used thick soft fencing wire to hold the connectors to the base. You could use long bolts or screws.

3) Leg brace connector (3 needed) to connect the leg to the leg brace.

All parts can be printed at once in 8 hours.

The centre pole is 3/4" PVC pipe and the legs are 1/2" PVC pipe.
