It is highly recommended to print with complete support interface for the parts in this project. Support interface would give a flat bottom which result in a better mechanical performance.
The orientation of stl files are already thought through during my testing. Try printing at the current orientation unless you run into problems. It is not recommended to reorient the arms to save support material. The tabs will be easy to break if printed otherwise.
The bolt is oriented horizontally for optimised strength. Bottom teeth is trimmed off for printing easily. It acts very similar to a full thread. Only the phone clamp bolt (M5x65) is recommended to use printed version. All the bolts for arms should be metal if possible.
NOTES:
It is not recommended to extend the arm too long. General filament is not strong enough to take that much lateral load at this size and the arm would be very wobbly. And the arms are optimized to stay still. If you wish to use this design as selfie stick or similar purpose, please be careful with the material strength and use at you own risk.
