Camera Stand to make 3D models

Nice. That's a good idea. Does this mean you have a laser cutter?

A GlowForge Plus.

So I started designing with my Remarkable, then took the concept into  Rhino 7. IN Rhino7 I created a 3D model with the actual dimensions I needed. That model is shown above.  Once the 3D model was ok,  I then exploded the 3D parts lifting off the surfaces [unlike many 3D modeling programs, Rhino is really a surface modeler. So in Rhino you create 2D shapes into surfaces and extrude the shapes into 3D models.]

To get to the cutting .SVG file below I did the reverse taking 3D model parts and extracting surfaces to CorelDraw. Corel Draw then exports to a .SVG file for the GlowForge to laser cut.

Here are the 12 pieces I will cut 1/4" non-glossy black acrylic to avoid reflections.

This is how I design laser cut building and bridges too.

Well that sure does make me want a laser cutter. I could see where I could really get some use out of it at times. I always thought I wouldn't be able to make shapes for it but I was able to follow what you're saying. Can't wait to see how this turns out!

as stated the stand is cut from Acrylic that has a paper covering on both sides. The Acrylic cement or glue I use is very viscous. So if some of it touches the surface it will leave a mark. To avoid or minimize damage to the surfaces while cementing  I leave the paper on as much as I can. However where I must glue I score those areas so I can just remove the scored paper where the glue must go.

To score I differentiate the cuts from the scores by changing the color of the lines in CorelDraw; black lines are cuts and red lines are scores. The GlowForge software separates the black lines and the red lines. I set the black lines as cuts and the red lines as scores.

the .SVG files then looks like

note the line colors.

So the Glowforge can CUT, SCORE, ENGRAVE  or 3D engrave.

That's impressive. Your creations must look as professional as can be!
