Go Pro Bottle & Magnet mount

thingiverse

I was blown away by Marcella's ingenious bottle mount design for a Go Pro (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:503338), and just as impressed by UltiArjan's creative magnetic mount (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:291363), so I decided to merge the two! I eventually ended up modifying this beautifully simple and clean bottle cap created by ahoeben (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:148310) to add a magnetic tripod since Marcella's is a bit too intricate for my taste. As it turns out, it also functions perfectly as a standalone tripod base. Instructions After trying various options, I discovered that three 6mm x 3mm neo magnets are just right - however, they used to slide off my fridge in previous versions, and would detach occasionally when placed in certain positions. To fix this issue, I added extra support legs so the camera's orientation doesn't matter, and designed notches on the stabilizers where small rubber bands can be attached for additional grip. I printed it at 0.2mm layer height with a single shell and 33% fill ratio, which appears to be pretty durable so far. Next, I super glued the magnets in place - the notch on the magnet holders allows for some flexibility, making them easier to install. The photos are from version 2; I have uploaded version 3, which features slightly modified stabilizer legs with cleaner notches for rubber bands and rounded ends to eliminate sharp edges.
