Tarot 650 brushless gimbal fixture

thingiverse

This is an interface to suspend a standard 2D or 3D small camera gimbal like this one on the skid rods under the Tarot 650 Iron Man quadrotor frame. It replaces the gimbal's top aluminium plate, and it's stiffer as well as lighter than the usual plate-screwed-to-printed-hook approach by about 10 grams. Also reduces total vertical height by about a centimeter. It will work with any gimbal suspended by 4 rubber dampers placed on a about 64x64mm square with a mounting hole of about 8.5mm, which seems to be the normal for most low cost gimbals i've seen. Print Settings Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Notes: NO support Best printed in ABS as it handles impacts and vibrations better. Post-Printing Assembling The rod holes are dimensioned such that friction alone should be enough to fix the gimbal in place, but if necessary use some cable ties to provide additional fixing. If your printer is oozy or prints with large layer height you may need to clean the rod holes with a 10mm drill bit. To assemble insert the interface in the frame, remove the upper aluminium drilled plate from the gimbal, take the rubber dampers out and insert them in the holes in the printed fixture, then mount the lower part of the gimbal on the dampers.
