Introducing the Keccak256 Boom Arm. The worlds first ceiling mountable open source 3D printable boom arm designed for makers, crafters, streamers, content creators, gamers, who value their time and like maximizing their space.

Rotates 360 Degrees at Ceiling Mount
Articulates at Each Arm Joint in 15 Degree Intervals

Everyday, makers and people who stream or create content not just from their pc, but from various workbenches, stations, face the issue of either having to own multiple sets of cameras, mics, lights to get be able to film/stream from each location, or having to move that gear about on tripods, and then try to avoid tripping over the cables. This boom arm is designed with their needs in mind. By allowing you to mount to the ceiling, rotate around an entire room, extend long distances, and articulate into position, this allows them to move their existing gear, to where they need, instantly. As well as keeps all those cables tied to the arm and ceiling, where they don't present a trip hazard or annoyance.

Assembly Notes

1. For Ceiling Mount Ball Bearings - so... 136 is the max you can fit in there, but putting less works. I haven't tested how low you can take that. But I'd guess I have about 100ish in mine and it moves great.
2. For connecting the two Arm Halves - There are 18 holes in each, but... like... depending on how heavy of equipment your putting on there, and how many arms your using (more arms = more length = more leverage), you can likely use much less, possibly down to 6.
3. Once installed and assembled, tighten the m6 lock nuts against the washer to the point where you can still articulate the arms, but they don't sag/fall on their own.
4. If the first Arms from the Ceiling Mount are sagging (you used lots of arms out at 90° angles, and you need more support, use 4mm shock cord from the shock cord plate, to the arm knuckle to support it.

For All Parts
4 walls
25% infill (honeycomb or cubic)

For Parts With Printed Threads:
0.08 layer height (0.16 first layer)
0.42 line width
0.4mm nozzle
20 top layers (this gives 1.6mm thickeness)
19 bottom layers (this gives 1.6mm thickness)

For Parts Without Threads
0.20 layer height
0.42 line width
0.4mm nozzle

Material:
My personal one is printed in Recycled PLA (from SunLu), so... I figure if that's stonk enough on this design, you should be able to print it from just about anything.

Reach/Material Cost/Print Time
I mathed out some approximate lengths, filament requirements, and time for different configurations:

(each one, includes 1 ceiling mount, 1 end arm, and X number of arm segments)
(print time is based on my bambu x1c, going at about 1/2 to 3/4 of its max speed)

1 arm segment build : ~415mm reach : 833.73 grams : 36h 36m print time
2 arm segment build : ~645mm reach : 956.68 grams : 47h 23m print time
3 arm segment build : ~875mm reach : 1079.63 grams : 58h 10m print time
4 arm segment build : ~1105mm reach : 1202.58 grams : 68h 57m print time
5 arm segment build : ~1335mm reach : 1325.53 grams : 79h 44m print time
6 arm segment build : ~1565mm reach : 1448.48 grams : 90h 31m print time
7 arm segment build : ~1795mm reach : 1571.43 grams : 101h 18m print time
8 arm segment build : ~2025mm reach : 1694.38 grams : 112h 5m print time
