LiPo Battery Mount for 3-Axis Camera Gimbal

thingiverse

Yeah I know my LiPo battery's in rough shape, but focus beyond that - this is a mount for a 3s 2200 MaH LiPo battery onto a 3-Axis camera gimbal, made up of two parts: a base and a removable battery plate. These pieces fit together to ensure nothing comes loose, yet are easy to change in the field without messing with velcro. Work is in progress for a 3s 3300 MaH battery pack mount too. Instructions: The base will snugly fit into most gimbals sold in China and Hong Kong. It has holes to sit over four top screws that hold the central handle in place, along with a centre slot for one of the four washers securing the Y-axis motor's top-most plate. It measures 13mm from base to top. I designed the interlock as a zig zag path to prevent any chance of the battery coming loose from the base. It's vital: The overhangs are designed with a thin wall that snaps off easily, so remember to cut them off - I hate when Slic3r adds messy support. The battery mount plate is minimal, featuring two protruding T-connectors fitting into the base and a pair of slots for securing self-locking velcro. Remember: Both pieces require some sanding to ensure the interlock path is smooth and has good traction. These parts are designed for a snug yet smooth fit, so results depend on your printer's settings and filament quality.
