QiDi GoPro Camera Quick Mount Clip

thingiverse

This is a Go Pro Quick Clip mount for use with the GoPro (or clone) cameras and the QiDi 3D printer. Updated 8/17/16: Thinned down the center rib slightly. Updated 8/18/16: Reprinted in different orientation for added strength. (See Below) Print Settings Printer: QiDi Resolution: 0.3mm Infill: 100% Notes: Printed in MG Crystal PLA with 6 top, 6 bottom, 4 outside. 230C/60C. Print orientation was with the U top of clip down on the bed. A raft and supports were used. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------==============>================= I fractured the depending flange on one of these so I tried changing the print orientation to put the flange flat down on the print bed. I printed with 9 top, 9 bottom and 7 outside layers at 100% infill using standard PLA at 210/60 and 0.12mm/layer. No raft was needed but supports are required. It took forever to print. Getting the supports to release when the print was done required excessive force, but they eventually all came off in one piece. I believe this orientation is much stronger and will not fail in the same way as the earlier orientation print did. Post-Printing Carve away the supports. If you've set em up well, the supports should release easily and completely. Test your camera mount half of the clip with this piece to make sure it fits and you understand what force is needed to engage and disengage the pieces. I've printed two of these so far and both were stiff fits, but no modifications / sanding etc. were needed. How I Designed This This object is a combined remix of a GoPro camera mount http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:40282 by mark133, and a flange mounted utility bin for the QiDi 3D printer http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1495535 by cncartist. Many thanks to both!
