I wanted a light box for taking pictures of 3D prints, but they take up so much room. The Photo Sweep is a quick and easy way to provide a background. Simply use a piece of paper and clip the two stand in place.

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

Creality

Printer: 

Ender 3

Rafts:

No

Supports: 

No

Resolution:

.2

Infill: 

10%

Notes:

The clips have a flat side and an indented side. Make sure the flat side sit flush with the vertical piece, otherwise the snap may break when inserted.

There is a test piece to print before hand to make sure your printer tolerance is set correctly, so the pieces fit together well.

How I Designed This

I saw HPaul's Photographic Sweep Stand and I liked that idea. A remix by Claghorn Tweaked Photo Sweep Stand looked simpler to print and I liked the idea of using filament for the pins. However, after I printed it the holes were too small.

I started thinking why not use a snap and socket? I uploaded Claghorn's file to Tinkercad and replaced the pins, with a snap and socket. The two piece snap together and hold the paper.
