3 Axis Gimbal for GoPro Stereo

thingiverse

Work in progress.... My design is using iPower Motor GBM2804 100T motors. I had to use a step bit to clean the circular holes. My original remix design had a flaw where I removed the hole that allowed for a bearing rod. This clamped the mount of the arm down on the bearing, locking it up in the process. I then added the hole back into the design on one end of each arm because it was only locking up one side of the motor. This hole needed a little extra space so I drilled it out. I figure the friction from the drill bit slightly melts the layers around the hole and adds more structural integrity to the fair size hole, I'd rather do this than enlarge the hole from a design standpoint. I plan on using M3 washers on all of screws to help with pressure disbursement on the area around the mounting holes. Base is a Work in Progress. The entire thing is a work in progress because I am still adding features to the camera housing. After adding features to the camera housing I will then need to add or subtract a given length to one or all of the parts to accommodate for balancing the entire gimbal.

I decided to add cable managing features to the design and added more geometry to strengthen it a bit because the pieces I needed were considerably longer.
