Please watch the videos for a full build and explanation!

I designed these parts from scratch in Fusion 360 as a flexible camera arm to meet my specific needs. I printed the parts from PETG, but any filament that has a bit of flex to it should work including ABS and Nylon. For PLA you may have to warm the parts up to get them to snap together without breaking.

Note, while this may have an outward resemblance to Loc-Line, it is not meant to carry fluid by itself and cannot even support it's own weight past a foot or so without an internal stiffener such as armature wire or stiff flexible tubing.

Sorry, but all things considered I'm not going to upload the Fusion 360 files. In the video I walk though creating it, so if you need something similar, Fusion 360 is free and you can watch my videos for instruction on how to make it yourself if you need to. Please, no commercial use. You may remix the STL files to your hearts content for personal use.

Print Settings

Printer:

Alphawise U20

Rafts:

Doesn't Matter

Supports:

No

Resolution:

I used .32, but it doesn't matter.

Infill:

50%

Filament:

generic PLA

Whatever


Notes:

I used Prusa Slicer 2.3.0 with 50% 3D honeycomb infill, but whatever slicer you use make sure there's lots of infill supporting the walls where the cuts in the socket part start, otherwise it will be prone to breaking there when you snap the parts together.
