STL files to 3D print phone scope mount?

If you can design just the phone holder (it's easy) i can send you this:

That looks like a 90° turn with some fancy mirrors. Have you made that in real life before? Really cool!

How wide/thick is your phone?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 and was thinking I'd print a case for it to mount that way, just glue or make the case part of the design.

I'm new at 3d printing but really interested in making my own designs. I have like zero experience using Blender, FreeCAD, etc however, so if there were something really simple that'd be great.

I've got some hyper pla and petg I could use.

Maybe I'll look into designing the thing sometime in the future, as I may have a need for something similar myself...
 
If you decide you want to mount a traditional camera to your scope, there are a lot of options in the astrophotography world. There's fairly cheap steel and aluminum mounts available.
I think the problem with ones I've seen at least are that rifle scopes need eye relief whereas a spotting scope doesn't.

Yeah, that could be a problem, depending on the min eye relief you need. I think my astrophotography gear puts the camera (max) about 3" away from the scope eyepiece.
Yeah mine has 3-3.4 inch eye relief. Also has those buttons for the illumination so that's the other obstacle for the scope phone mount.

 
I would like to record the pellet/slug flight for tuning purposes only. My reason doesn't justify buying a new camera.
I have two DSLR as well and a bunch of higher quality lenses, the smaller camera may work but still heavy.
I was tinkering about a scope mount, but a Canon DSLR is heavy to mount it inline, and my Samsung S23 video doesn't have a recording speed high enough to capture the pellet flight anomalies.
I have a nice birding - spotting scope, but the power is less then my X50.
I am kind of hanging on a thin string with this my project.
Following with interest.
