I needed to make a stand fore close up lighting when soldering and using the new HD camera. A few grams was plenty to shape a tripod by hand. I will upload videos once I edit them. I did 4 videos while molding the stand. Once you have the shapes you want you must "Shock" the polymer with cold water. The colder the better but for this video I used cold running water to lock in the shape. It would be excellent for making little brackets and servo connections.
