GoPro 360 Rotor mount

I'm excited to share my take on various DIY GoPro rotor 360 models found online. If you're an action cam owner with a rotor mount, this is a great way to capture thrilling images while putting yourself through the wringer. I combined printed parts and off-the-shelf objects from hardware stores to create a unique design. Check out the part list in the instructions below for specifics. You can see some amazing examples of what's possible by checking out the YouTube video linked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE6s-qFe5bc The 3D models I used for the skate helmet and GoPro camera came from GrabCAD, at these links: https://grabcad.com/library/skate-helmet and https://grabcad.com/library/gopro-hero-3-hd-camera-with-the-frame. **Captive Nuts** For added strength in my swivel joint, I used captive nuts. To attach the camera to the tube, I designed two different mount clamps – one with a captive nut and one without. When using captive nuts, be sure to pause the gcode and insert them properly; you can find more details on this process in some of my previous projects, like http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:587659. **Materials** * 1 x Aluminum tube (12mm outside diameter, 1mm thick, 1 meter long) * 8 x Washers (Ø40 x Ø12 x 2.5 mm) – for counterweight use * 1 x M10 x 50 hex head cap screw * 4 x M3 x 10 mm hex head cap screws * 4 x M3 nuts * 2 x M4 x 8 hex head cap screws * 2 x M4 x 25 hex head cap screws * 1 x Small swivel wheel (38x38mm base plate)
