GO-PRO Hero Flat Based Mount

thingiverse

This is a pro-level mount designed specifically for go-pro hero cameras. All you need is a standard metal nut that fits perfectly in the hexagonal receiver, which adds extra stability but is entirely optional. The mount works flawlessly without it. Print Settings: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: High How I Created This Design: Important! To replicate this design, precision is key - stay exact to the measurements at all times. When printing, add supports to every section to prevent collapse. These supports can be easily removed using a drill bit, sandpaper, and an exacto knife. Custom Section Project Name: GO-PRO Mount Objectives: This project allows you to work with precise measurements and semi-complicated Inventor formatting. By completing this project, you'll enhance your skills in measuring extrusions and working angles. Audience: This is an entry-level project that can be completed by anyone with a basic understanding of the Inventor program. Preparation: Before starting this project, all you need are precise measurements of a standard GO-PRO mount, which can be found within this project file or taken using calipers. You'll also require the Inventor program. Steps: This project can be approached from various angles. I developed a base model first and then built upon it. After designing the basic model, I used the fillet tool to smooth out the edges and make it look professional. Don't be afraid to experiment with different techniques and measurements as long as the camera receiver stays precise. Results: Once your mount is completely printed, sanded, and all supports are removed, you should have a functional flat-based GO-PRO mount. To test its functionality, attach a GO-PRO camera to the mount and see how it fits. Ensure the screw is tightened as tightly as possible for optimal performance.
