![]() ![]() Most did not appeal or satisfy my needs, but an early model by fellow designer and maker Agustín Arroyo inspired me to base my first iteration off of his beautifully simple and straightforward design. I knew I was not the first to tackle the DIY Teleprompter task a quick Google will yield the many paths that have been tread before I even came up with the idea. ![]() ![]() I had my work cut out for me it seemed, and in the end it would take three different versions to find the winning combination of stability, versatility, ease of use and cost. This is of course on top of wanting to make it as easy and straightforward to print as possible an ongoing mission I have for all of my 3D printable designs. I wasn’t looking to reinvent the wheel, but I did have a range of requirements to fulfil, including needing it to work on a variety of tripods and lenses, using a phone as the text source, and not requiring expensive or hard to source hardware to attach it. (We’re not going to talk about how rambling those few early videos were.) Fortunately, the antidote to expensive but necessary items is clever DIY solutions.ĬAD Design and 3D Printing were the perfect tools to be able to quickly prototype, test, and iterate on such a simple yet surprisingly fussy design. Unfortunately, as I would soon learn, it is equally important when your scripts are lengthy and accuracy is key to a good presentation. Lenses and tripods and lights seemed essential pieces that I couldn’t really avoid buying, but a teleprompter felt like a bizarre luxury item I couldn’t justify. There’s nothing quite like intense necessity and lack of funds to inspire great design.ĭuring the early days of my video documentation journey, I, like many, found myself with a need for a huge range of kit and very little money to actually purchase it with. ![]()
