GoPro Cannon Cam

myminifactory

When I worked for Make Labs, I created this fun 3D printed spudgun that launches a GoPro camera into action. Retractable spring-loaded fins ensure a smooth and stable flight, while the spring-cushioned nose cone helps protect the GoPro throughout its entire journey. Instructions to build your own can be found on the Make website at: http://makezine.com/projects/make-39/cannon-cam/. Instructions: Print the nose cone impact head, fins, slip rings, and window frame with 80 percent solid infill. Print the remaining parts with 30 percent infill. Assemble all major body modules correctly, then use three 8.75" lengths of 6-32 thread rods to hold everything together temporarily. Once you have lined up all the pieces and ensured they sit flat against each other, mark the parts with a black Sharpie to guarantee the Cannon Cam is always assembled the same way. Tip: If your printer doesn't print evenly, line up the pieces so they lean the same way to prevent modules from binding up.
