DJI O3 Camera Frame: Maximal lens protection, minimal size

thingiverse

Companion project to my other parametric configurable FPV designs: | O3 Pod | O3 Frame | Action2, 3+4 | AcePro | GoPro Mini | Hero 9-12 | Antenna Mount |Join my discord* to request any custom version!Go see this project on printables for all ND options, nicely organized in folders!The O3 Camera FrameDesigned to protect an O3 camera in smaller designs like cinewhoops or on FPV Planes! Perfect for the ultra tiny Pavo Pico, the NewBeeDrone AcroBee75, or your Diatone Ripper pan camera mount! Just like my O3 Mod design, but I designed this to bracket-around the camera to hold it in place. The design puts as much material in front of the lens as possible to protect the camera. But-- because of my modeling of the camera's field-of-view,  nothing is visible in the camera's feed. Perfection.New V3 revisionNew V3 design has been strengthened, optimized, rigorously printed, tested and optimized with several different NDs and now with a new rigid PETG option. See the section on ND options below and go check out the files!How Heavy?Yep. Just 2.5g. New O3 cameras cost $100.. Just sayin.Real ND Filters, No CompromisesDesigned for good ND filters like from Freewell, etc, that are made for the O3/Avata. No-ND Support VersionOffers the most protection!Best: Freewell filters [amazon]Wide view, full FOV, no vignetting. Work in any FOV modeUse my ND-freewell-wide version in downloads!Kinda Bad: GepRC filters. Clip-in verticallyWill have vignetting on the edges in wider modes. This is a flaw in the filter design.Use my ND-tall version in downloads!Also Bad: Flywoo filtersclips on top onlyAlso has bad vignetting in the corners from the filter design.Also use my ND-tall version in downloads!Bad: Universal Filter VersionFits any ND filters.. Offers the least protection.Everything is always free!And if you appreciate my work I've got buymeacoffee buymeacoffee.com/t4obrien orpaypal paypal.me/t413Please post a photo of your build!It's literally the reason I make all this stuff. Also check out my other projects. Lots of FPV stuff. Print settingsBest printed as oriented in the STL!Print with TPU filament, slowlyUse tree support but standard works.Use 2 or 3 perimeter walls for most setups.Infill: Up to you. I use 40%. 100% is fine for this part.Lots of uses: Quads, Fixed wings, RC car, etcWant more protection on a fixed wing O3 pan mount like mine (Ripper)? Perfect.Have an ultra micro custom 3" frame but still want lens protection like Will? Perfect.Sharing & License & StuffThe LAST thing I want to do is restrict anyone from sharing. But. PLEASE share links to this printables page, not the STLs. Here's why:This is under active development. The STLs WILL CHANGE and get better.The documentation is important, and I'm sure there's stuff I'll be adding as feedback comes in.The community is important, I want people to reach out and join the discord not download some STLs and go it alone.It's just a super dick move to repost designer's stuff. I've spent a long time making, testing, and documenting this and my only reward is that little stupid 'like' counter, download counter, and photos/stories from users. DON'T DEPRIVE ME OF MY ONE SENSE OF SELF WORTHThe actual license is Creative Commons (4.0 International License) Attribution---Noncommercial---Share Alike.
