When I originally designed my Virtual Boy Tripod Kit, it was the most complicated design I had done up to that point. However to make everything work I needed metal nuts and screw, plus an elastic band to hold everything together.
Since I started modeling my own screws, I wanted to go back to this kit and re-design it to be properly 100% 3D printed without loosing the functionality.
And this was my result. The body's shape is pretty much the same. However I am so please with how the mechanism works for the lock nut and thumb screw.
The screws are a bit tricky to print. But man this is so cool to slim this down.
