Basic GoPro Mount - OpenSCAD

prusaprinters

THIS WON'T WORK AS A STANDALONE PART*(More geometry is required -- this provides a "baseline" for something else to utilize a GoPro mount and isintended* for remixing!!!)**Dead simple GoPro mount I reverse-engineered in OpenSCAD, using both the 3-flap version (which includes the nut hole) and the 2-flap version (no nut hole) for either side of a mount. I've used this for a few years on several one-off designs and finally took the time to isolate the mount itself.The height is also adjustable based on the Extra_Mount_Depth parameter in the OpenSCAD file if necessary, but I saw this measurement used on several GoPro-branded mounts so it's safe to assume it's a "standard" measurement.Prints in multiple orientations as STL's show. Most printers can handle this without any supports required.For an example of what is possible with this design, please see my [ PiCam GoPro Mount ], which remixes this design for the Raspberry Pi camera module in a rather simple and straightforward way. It is also possible to remix the resulting STL onto a different design if that suits your fancy, and I have provided four rendered STL's for that exact reason.PLEASE NOTE: If using the 3-flap version, be careful of nut hole orientation. It prints flawlessly if two corners are aligned in the Z axis regardless of the printer, though bridging can have trouble. If you look at the thumbnails for each 3 flap version, you can see that the nut hole doesn't change orientation, the flap does -- this is what I'm describing and is intentional for best print quality. Remember, you'll be torquing against this nut, it is critical that it is secured correctly!RecommendationsAvoid supports if possible, otherwise the slicers tend to get lazy and will rely on the support material for a nice round circle rather than the sheer fact that small circles like this are incredibly easy to print.Remix it! BSD license, use it anywhere and everywhere you see fit, commercial, personal, public, private, whatever wherever it's all fair game.Changelog2018-09-07Initial UploadCategory: Camera
