GoPro clamp mount

thingiverse

Sometimes you need to secure a GoPro but can't use a full-circle clamp. This mount is designed for those situations. You also require two metal components: an eye screw and a barrel nut, often called a dowel nut. I sourced mine from the local Home Depot hardware aisle. The eye screw was 4"x1/4"-20 and the barrel nut was threaded for 1/4"-20 with a 10mm diameter. I recommend printing the clamp mount with 2mm wall thickness and 50% infill, while the pusher stop must be printed at 100% infill. This piece may wear out over time, but owning the factory that makes them is a perk. You can print this device in-place as the two clamp arms will be permanently hinged together. It requires minimal support during printing. Once complete, insert the pusher-stop into its hole and screw the eye screw through the barrel nut for a secure fit. If your clamp arms don't move freely after printing, use the eye screw to tighten the clamp and they should break free. I added grip by gluing old bike inner tube pieces to the insides of my clamp arms. You can customize this design using the OpenSCAD file, which requires Mooncactus' excellent GoPro scad file (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:62800).
