Use the ground pod to put the camera securely low level.
For instance, I like to use it on the beach for taking pictures of birds. A bean bag would be another option, but with the filling it is too heavy for traveling or long trips.
The weight of pod is less than 200 grams. You can attach a small carabiner to the hole at the side of the pod. Though, I prefer zipper tags (like https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0C3KB6NKK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1&language=en_GB).
No supports are needed.
The ground pod is designed for inserting a
- 3/8" thread insert inch (UNC) (see https://www.ruthex.de/en/collections/gewindeeinsatze/products/ruthex-3-8-gewindeeinsatz-zoll-unc-15-stuck-rx-3-8-16-x12-7-gewindebuchsen-aus-messing-stabile-einpressmutter-durch-warme-in-3d-druck-teile-aus-kunststoff-einsetzbar) and
- 3/8 Inch-16x3/4 Inch Hex socket button head bolts screws with a total length of 24 mm (see https://www.amazon.de/dp/B015A3B9OC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&language=en_GB).
An additional screw nut (TJ Kamerateller III Mutter) can be used instead of the thread insert to secure the 3/8" screw to the pod. I tried, and it worked really well.
The size of the ground pod is 246 mm x 206 mm and fits the plate of an Prusa MK3 or MK4 well.
I highly recommend ASA filament. Print with a 0.4 mm size nozzle. I used the PolyMaker PolyLite ASA Army Green.
The project file contains additional override settings for infill, layers and perimeters, skirt and brim and especially layer height changes for different layers. These ensure the best printing for the integrated supports.
