Squirt v2 GoPro 5 6 7 Variable Angle w/ Lens Guard

thingiverse

I didn't like how the original variable angle GoPro mount was designed, as it didn't hold the camera tightly enough in place. Fortunately, I never experienced any issues with the camera falling out, not even after a crash that could have caused it to move. However, I prefer having a mount that provides a slightly tighter grip on the camera. To achieve this, I combined two files: one for the base and another for the variable angle mount. The modified design still requires the use of an M3 x 20mm standoff inside the base, just like the original variable angle mount. Additionally, I remixed the bottom mount to make it slightly thicker where it attaches to the frame, increasing its thickness by 2mm at the bottom. After conducting some tests with different infill levels, I noticed a significant weight difference between them: * Infill at 75%: total weight of 15.47g * Infill at 25%: total weight of 10.80g * Shendrones Squirt Variable Angle Hero Mount: 9.37g For the Shendrones Squirt, I would prefer to minimize its weight as much as possible. With an infill level of 75%, the fit was tighter than with any other setting. However, at 25% infill, it still held up reasonably well. The original "Shendrones Squirt Variable Angle Hero Mount" had the least amount of grip on the camera and weighed only 9.37g. With a small increase in weight, I am willing to sacrifice 1.5g for added security, ensuring that my GoPro remains securely attached at all times. Warning: This model is a modified version of another design, so some slicer software might encounter issues with it. However, Cura was able to handle it without any problems. Unfortunately, I don't have the skills required to create 3D models properly. Update (March 27, 2020): After using the Squirt for an extended period, I came to realize that the weight savings from using a half-case design aren't worth the added risk of damaging the GoPro. As a result, I've included both full and half-case designs in this updated version: one with an immortal T-mount and another without it.
