Manfrotto RC2 quick release - GoPro Hero 3 adapter

cults3d

Combined Manfrotto RC2 quick release block and GoPro Hero 3 flat mount allows easy attachment of GoPro Hero 3 camera to many Manfrotto tripods. A Solidworks file is included. This design combines two existing creations: Bob Jenney's Manfrotto 323 RC2 Quick Release from GrabCAD and JonDanielsRacing's GoPro Flat Mount from Thingiverse. The combination fits my Manfrotto 804 RC2 perfectly. The design was tested on a Replicator 2x with the following settings: 0.2 mm layer thickness, 60% infill, 4 shells, dual extrusion, HIPS supports, and MW 2.4.1. Pacman Helper Disk V2 by midniteandy was used to prevent corner lifting. A slight modification was made to the original quick release block for a snugger fit. I recommend an acetone vapour bath at 80°C for 10-15 minutes to add extra strength and polish.
