Instructions
Destructions:
Here's what you'll need in addition to 3D printed parts:
1) 1x 1/4-20x1.0" socket head cap screw.
2) 1x 1/4-20 tap drill (or you can muscle a screw in there maybe).
3) Optional: Download and print the BuddyGripper3D thingiverse.com/thing:35617
Don't want to look for these things? Order a BuddyGripper Tripod Production Kit here: buddygripper.com/product/tripod-3d-kit/
Next, download and print the referenced STL files in the quantities mentioned in the file name.
Then snap everything into place, thread the hole for the 1/4-20 screw in the ballPivot and you're ready to go. This design was inspired by another tripod I saw selling for 13 Euros in Spain. So ridiculous that price.
Let me know what you think!

I designed something like this (not quite to completion) which used the same pivot idea but instead of fixed legs had holes to accept pencils (rubber feet down) as the legs.
Definitely upload it when you have it finished!! I considered using pencils / pens. And you're right about the pencils eraser down because slippage is a problem.
