Brompton GoPro mount

cults3d

This is a custom GoPro mount for Brompton Bikes that attaches securely to the two headset screws at the front, giving you a super stable viewpoint regardless of how much you steer your handlebars. I used PLA to print this mount, and I chose to use material support and cooling to ensure it turned out perfectly. To get the best results, I set my PEI bed temperature to 70C, my hotend temp to 225C, and I printed at a base speed of 30mm/s. You'll be amazed at how strong the layer adhesion is when you use high temperatures and slow speeds. After printing, I used an X-Acto knife to tidy it up a bit, especially in the hexagonal captive nut cavity. If you want to make your part even more heat-resistant, consider using ABS instead of PLA. Just be aware that using light-colored PLA might actually improve its heat tolerance by absorbing less heat. The design was created using OpenScad, and I've included the source code so you can see exactly how it works. It also includes some handy code snippets from a similar project on Thingiverse (thanks!). If you need to tweak any of the dimensions, feel free to load up the OpenScad file, make your changes, and generate a new STL file. Edit: I've added a model of a straight 2/3 GoPro rod that's based on a customized version of another project on Thingiverse. If you want to create your own custom rod, just use this project as inspiration and head over to Thingiverse for the original design.
