Osmo Pocket Z2 Force and Model Cut Tool

thingiverse

2018-1231 GOT IT! Perfect. Still making small updates but it works perfect in its current form! Print the two parts, no support 2x M4 20mm bolts to assemble and snap them together. Use a deburring tool to clean up the interface where the Socket adaptor slides in (next revision this will be better). "Snip" the portion of the model where you see I cut it off in my picture. You can try leaving it in place if you wish, but it's hard to get the adapter in with that wall intact. I left it intact for the print to retain the no support printing so think of it as built-in support. It works VERY well. As long as you keep your finger below the 45 bevel on the hand grip, you can back tilt the Osmo 45 degrees and your finger/grip won't come into the camera view. I love it. It's SO easy to hold and use now that I'm also releasing a grip for the Moto Z2 "alone" to make it into a stand-alone camera (since its cameras are pretty darned good as well). Stay tuned for that. I will keep fine-tuning this model. I still have to add my tripon slave socket into the bottom (that extra hole was it, but I goofed the dimensions! Next revision will have it). Why the Moto Z2 Force? The Osmo wouldn't work with LG's and I have an LG V20 (four of them, same issue - all for connection bad). So, I tried my brother's phone and it worked. The Z2 force is pretty darned nice. Slim, powerful, nice screen, USB C, and most important? CHEAP under or around $100 on eBay. Lots of ram and storage, and you can add an SD card. Non-replaceable battery though - which sucks. ALSO at least until the Osmo is fully charged, if you plug in the Osmo IT ALSO charges the phone! This is nice! 2018-1226 DRAT so close, sooooo close. Cam interface off by 1.5mm File corrected will have Test 3 Printed in 9 hours. Also adjusted the charging port opening to permit more cables to fit (only about half mine fit). Added 11mm hole on bottom to allow insertion of a 2-way tripod adaptor (1/4x3/8 plug) for tripod mounting. Also cut 45 into the hand grip. If you have to tilt unit above your head, the gimbal very rapidly brings your top finger and top of frame into view. This cut will encourage you to move your finger grip down and keep your hand and grip out of frame for a larger degree of movement. 2 x M4 20mm bolts to assemble the fit has JUST A bit of wiggle to allow for printer variations and to allow you to add "buffer" material to get the desired amount of friction fit you want. I designed it to "capture" the Osmo, which is why you have to insert it without the plug and then insert the plug (completing the capture). This way if you remove the phone, the Osmo can't accidentally slide out on its own! That would suck :-) The CUT tools have also been updated. 2018-1225 THIS IS UNTESTED I am printing the hopefully final version now it's 9 hours out. Print at your own risk till I have PICTURES of the finished model uploaded!! This is for the Osmo Pocket and Motorola Z2 Force (cheapest decent USB C phone I could find on eBay about $100). Phone fit last test model Osmo ALMOST fit last test model (Last Modification added to this upload it was 1mm off). Insert Osmo WITHOUT dongle. Insert dongle with Osmo already in holder. Then insert phone. I HAVE NOT tested alignment of phone and dongle yet!! I have also included a "cut tool" for the Osmo so you can make your own holders and cases. It goes to the "case line" just below the gimbal. The protrusions are for the USB ports. Also, included a cut tool for the Z2 Force (the little protrusion is for the power button) and the large rec protrusion is to cut out a hole to view the screen. I will upload pics and final models later IF changes are needed. No supports needed print in 2 pieces M4's to put it together.
