LiPo Battery Mount for 3-Axis Camera Gimbal

thingiverse

Yeah I know my LiPo battery is in bad shape but look beyond that, this is a mount for a 3s 2200 MaH LiPo battery onto a 3-Axis camera gimbal, consisting of 2 parts - a base and a removable battery plate. Both interlock to ensure nothing falls off, and yet is easy to change the battery without fumbling with velcro in the field. Work is in progress for a 3s 3300 MaH battery pack mount. Instructions The base will fit snug into most of those gimbals sold in China/ Hong Kong. It has holes to rest over the 4 top screws securing the central handle, with a centre slot to go over one of 4 washers that secure the top-most plate for the Y-axis motor. 13mm from base to top. I designed the interlock as a zig zag path to minimise any chance of the battery coming off the base. IMPORTANT: The overhangs are designed with a minimal wall that snaps off easily (I hate Slic3r adding support that is a mess) so remember to cut them off. The battery mount plate is kept to a minimum, with (obviously) the 2 protruding T-connectors that fit into the base, and a pair of slots to secure a piece of self-locking velcro. IMPORANT: Both pieces will require some sanding to ensure the interlock path is smooth and traction-free. These parts are designed for a tight but smooth fit so it all depends on your printer setting and filament quality.
