AR Drone 2.0 Camera Swivel Mount Mod

thingiverse

This printed part is similar to an online version but made from plastic by your 3D printer. It allows easy modification of your AR Drone 2.0's forward-facing camera for various viewing angles, from 90 degrees straight up to 90 degrees straight down. The design features snap-to angles at approximately 22 degrees and a ribbon cable guide. For optimal results, print in a single shell due to its intricate design, using a high-quality printer and possibly slowing down your bot for better printing precision. The part adds only 0.2g to your drone's weight. To install, find a bolt and nut that fit the hole; consider adding a shim, drinking straw, or shrink-tube to fill the entire hole if needed. Note that the included printed bolt is for testing purposes only and should not be used during flight. Protect the camera's ribbon cable by guiding it through the hinge, although you may need to trim the front of your drone slightly for clearance. Refer to a YouTube guide for instructions and tips on performing this camera modification, and exercise caution when cutting feet off the finished print to avoid damaging your drone.
