The first version of the Rail Tripod has become one of my favorite designs, but there is always room for improvement! Here are the main updates to version 2:

• Instead of using wedges to secure the attachments to the dowel, I added spacers that go in-between each attachment. This makes for a super clean look and each attachment (except the top one) can easily swivel 360 degrees.
• The spacers can be scaled in the Z direction to accommodate any length of dowel.
• The top attachment is secured to the top of the dowel using a #8x1 screw. The screw is then hidden by a threaded cap. Make sure you pre-drill using an 1/8" drill bit.
• Added an optional base that includes threads for sleeves that cover the leg dowels. This maintains the rigidity of the wooden dowel legs while finishing off the aesthetic. You shouldn't have to screw the leg dowels to the base if you go with this option.
• Included files for 1", 25mm, and 23mm dowels. The metric files are included in two 3mf files. If you need the individual STLs, you can export them from the 3mf's.

The dowels for the legs are meant to be cut into into 10" (254mm) lengths using a miter box and hand saw set (you can find these at any hardware store).

Supports None needed!

Scaling The spacers can be scaled in the Z direction so you can use any length of dowel. I wouldn't recommend scaling any other parts.
