We designed this to mount cell phones of any size to camera tripods, even if you have a phone case and a pop socket attached. The best part is that it is almost 100% 3d printed! You just need a 1/4"-20 hex nut and, optionally, two short adhesive foam strips to protect the phone from scratching and increase the grip.
This should work on most different types of tripod plates (Oben, Ambico, Manfrotto, Arca Swiss, generic ones, etc) but you should definitely check the stem.stl file to verify this. It has a pocket to fit the 1/4"-20 nut and a slot for the alignment pin we see on some tripod quick-release plates.
If you print this, let us know! Tag us on Instagram and we will feature your print :) Or you can leave us a review here. It really helps us improve our models đź‘Ť

The STL files are meant to be printed in the provided orientation (that is, the parts are laying on one side).
To get the right fit on the nut part, you could need to scale it up or down depending on the characteristics of your printer and the filament you are using. We provide a version already scaled up 105% which worked fine for us :)
