Mini Ball Tripod 1/4" Thread

I was looking for a mini tripod I could use for taking macro shots with my EOS 400D DSLR camera. Taking inspiration from another ball and cup design idea, I made it bigger and changed the clamp mechanism and added some legs. Now it is a fully printer-able tripod and mount which holds my camera in place.

The BallHousing and BallHousing base I made quite a tight fit, but with a bit of gentle screwing and unscrewing it fits quite quite well. I messed up on the thread for the ball-cup clamping and it is lefty tighty, but I don't mind it.

I found IceSL give a very good slice result using wing supports.
