Runcam2 Runcam 2 heavy duty case. 35 deg lens. for Fossils Stuff Gravity 180

thingiverse

Heavy duty casing designed to lower the stance of the camera, typically used with an angled mount, provides a tall profile while still allowing for 35 degrees of uptilt on the lens. The weight is comparable to that of the original camera plus a 35-degree mount, weighing in at roughly the same amount. However, the weight can be reduced by decreasing infill, but this will come at the cost of strength. In fact, testing revealed that 30% infill was pretty strong, but not nearly as robust as 100%. Original buttons will fit seamlessly but require a small blob of glue to secure in place, specifically gluing the "arms" of the buttons. A separate file is included - a deeper lens guard piece, allowing users to extend the protection ring by approximately 1mm further if desired. It's essential to check that this doesn't become visible in your viewfinder. I have invested significant time and effort into crafting this case, hoping it will be useful for others. The hole spacings are as follows: - For the Gravity 180 version: 43.3mm (left to right) and 41.4mm (front to back) - For the FSGX210 version: 41.8mm (left to right) and 38.6mm (front to back) Following numerous flights and crashes, including some quite rough ones, the casing remains intact and undamaged. However, I must emphasize that it's not advisable to test it against hard surfaces like concrete, as nothing survives impacts of such force. Print Settings: - Printer: Wanhao Duplicator i3 - Rafts: No - Supports: Yes - Resolution: 0.21mm - Infill: 100% - Notes: - ABS material used with 100% infill and 0.21mm layers - No raft employed - Supports attached to the bed only - Print speed approximately 55mm/s (approximately 3.5 hours per print) - Printed as a plate, requiring minor clean-up To assemble, use 2x M2x4mm and 4x M2x6mm bolts. Additionally, employ 5 small screws to secure the baseplate, with original screws working effectively for this purpose. Assembly involves the following steps: - Keep the lens attached to the mainboard - Place the lens into the face plate - Fix the top lens module piece to the faceplate using 2x M2x6mm bolts - Carefully lower the mainboard and lens assembly into place, with an option to apply superglue between the case body and the lens assembly top piece (in the area between the 2x M2x4mm screws) - Screw the lens module to the main body - Fit the lower lens module piece - Apply small strips of thin foam to the lens support wedge, as well as above the battery - Pack out the rear of the battery to keep it in place - The bottom plate can be screwed or glued into position (no glue is needed for a Gravity 180, as the mounting bolts hold everything together!) - Fit the battery and slide cover in place The project is almost complete, with only minor adjustments remaining.
