Summary

This is a single piece version of dougc314's helping hands design. It has 1/2 inch tapered pipe threads, so you don't have to glue it to the pipe. Assembly is similar to the original design except with 1/2 inch pipe.

This is compatible with either the original ball and socket joints or my modified version:

This is required, otherwise the lower layers of the balls will curl up at the edges and get caught on the nozzle. After printing the support residue can be sanded off.</p></div>
