Great work :star_struck:. To be curious, what is it? And for what it is used for ?

Thank you. Itā€™s a key piece of grip equipment used in film and tv production. Itā€™s essentially a link between a fixed point and any one of literally hundreds of different elements used to shape light or hold other film equipment. Iā€™ll be posting more here that will show some examples of it in use, but itā€™s also called a Gobo head if you want to look it up.

How can I 3d print this?

With a 3D printer?

The 3D printer is the Ender 3v2

Are you asking me if you can have access to the 3D model? If so, yes but I promise you itā€™s cheaper to buy the original item rather than print it, and it needs to be very strong to do its job, they are made of aluminum or steel, depending on the brand.

That would be great! I was hoping to save almost $60 and print something on my 3d printer that could manage to hold a small scrim. Thoughts?

For a small scrim, you donā€™t need a 2 Ā½ā€ grip head. Kudos makes a pretty nifty little mini head. The thing is, grip heads are the catastrophic fail point in any lighting set up, you donā€™t want to go half arsed. All grip heads are tighten to the right, loosen to the left, for good reason. Also, this model was not built for manufacture, it was built for components in an animation.

Printing metal design with 3d printer plastic your bound to suffer catastrophic fail, I have learned my lesson. If you do want to 3d print you really want to thicken and reinforce it.
