Monoprice Select Mini GoPro Mount

thingiverse

I was inspired by stevepax's pi camera mounting bracket and used it as a starting point to design my own GoPro mount. I decided to tilt the shoe instead of the mount itself, making it easier to create. I've included two files, one for attaching to the left side of the build plate and another for the right side. You can simply download whichever one you prefer. To assemble this project, you will need: 2 x M3 machine screws measuring 8-12mm 2 x M3 nuts 2 x M3 flat washers (optional but highly recommended) 1 x M5 nut 1 extension arm: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:454206 Update May 26, 2017: I have revised the files with some improvements: A support column has been added under the nut bracket to eliminate overhang. The spacing between the shoes has been reduced by 0.25mm for a better fit. The cutout for the bed screw now goes through the entire mount, allowing for adjustment without removing the mount. The right side mount is angled at 17 degrees and the left side mount is angled at 31.3 degrees. Update March 18, 2017: After multiple attempts to get the angles correct, I decided to do some math to ensure accuracy. Since the GoPro's lens is offset from the mount, the angle for either side must be different. To center the build plate in the frame, the right side should be around 15 degrees and the left side should be around 32.3 degrees. I have updated both files to reflect these changes. Update March 15, 2017: I printed the file and noticed a few small mistakes. I corrected them and re-uploaded the files. The screw holes were initially 15mm apart when they should have been 14mm apart, so now it fits better. I also adjusted the angle from 30 degrees to 26 degrees and widened the edge around the nut bracket. Print Settings: Printer: MP Select Mini Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 25%
