CGO1 housing for gimbal

thingiverse

I recently picked up a CGO1 one camera for my 350 QX system. The stock camera mount works flawlessly with the Hero3, but it does not support the larger and heavier CGO1 model. As a result, I decided to design and engineer a custom solution that would securely hold the CGO1 camera in place while maintaining full access to all of its buttons and ports. This innovative camera adapter has been successfully test-flown on the 350 QX drone, demonstrating excellent performance and reliability. To produce this customized adapter, I used a Solidoodle 3 3D printer with precise settings of .3mm layer height and a single layer raft without support materials. The finished product was subsequently coated with several layers of plasti dip to enhance its durability and appearance. For the design enthusiasts among you, I have included the open-source code written in OpenSCAD for this project. Feel free to download and modify it to create your own custom adapters or variations. Please be warned that my approach to design can be somewhat straightforward, but I made a concerted effort to comment on key aspects of the code wherever necessary.
