Parametric Booooom for Tapo Camera C100, C110, C111

This parametric boom extends the length of the standard camera mount by any size you want. The parametric OpenSCAD model allows setting the length and fine-tuning parameters as needed. …or simply use one of the STLs I've rendered for you.

How to print

I strongly recommend to print this in sturdier material such as PETG. I did quite a few attempts printing this in PLA and the snaps always broke. Also, take care to have enough outside perimeter layers (I used 3).

You can print this totally without supports in upright position with the snaps facing the buildplate. Brim is a must-have however. If you're printing this on a Bedslinger, be aware that long standing rods will gain some momentum as they move around - better print multiple shorter rods than one long piece.

How to install

You'll have to remove the 2 screws at the bottom of the stand and then carefully remove the base plate with a flat screwdriver. The base plate has two snaps which hold it in place.

Once you've removed that, you have access to the bottom of the boom, which has a rubber piece (I'll call that cork) that you need to pull out. Removing this gives access to a screw which holds the boom in place.

Remove the screw to remove the original boom from the base. Insert the rubber cork into the new boom and push the new arm into the base with a little force. The cork is only needed for the section of the arm that connects with the base - the other parts snap tightly together with enough friction to not need an additional rubber cork.

Put everything back together and enjoy your new supersized camera stand :)

Fine-tuning and feedback

I've done quite some experiments to figure the right parameters for the snaps. I then saved the best options in the scad model. Although you're free to tune any parameter of the model, I'd not recommend changing anything else than the boom length and the cork parameter.
