TBS Gemini Improved Mobius Mount - No Velcro!

thingiverse

If you're looking to have a high-quality mount made in the USA, reach out to me by private message on FPVlabs - I use the same username there! We all hate relying on Velcro to attach our Mobius cameras to our TBS Gemini racers. Firstly, the adhesive isn't very effective on the Mobius itself. Secondly, when the camera shifts downward, it pushes against the bottom cover, causing an unsightly gap between the cover and frame. Lastly, it just doesn't look cool enough! This upgraded mount is designed to connect securely to the Mobius using side grooves that insert into a lip. It provides rock-solid holding power while keeping everything aligned. To ensure secure placement, I added a stop at the back of the mount and incorporated a cover that prevents the camera from coming forward unless intentionally removed. Even without the cover, it would require considerable force to detach the camera - definitely not accidental! I'm thrilled with how this project turned out - a complete success on my very first attempt. The images shown are my literal initial print runs. Surprisingly, my design concept was spot-on from start to finish - usually not my experience! Update 2-20-15: A simpler "Ez" version is now available with minimal support requirements, making it suitable for single-extruder printers. It's significantly easier to print. Update 2-20-15 part 2: I highly recommend the Ez model for everyone - it provides better clearance for the vibration dampeners and improved functionality overall. Update 2-20-15 part 3: Tweaked minor details on the EZ design to enhance printability. Update 3-04-15: Introduced a new design offering Mobius cameras with 10 degrees of tilt, which ensures straight-ahead visibility during fast-forward flight. Please note that you cannot use the standard lower canopy with this model - adjust accordingly! I also adjusted my printer's scale settings after an update; for ABS material, this file is scaled to 1.01 in both x and y dimensions (instead of the previous 1.019 setting). Update 3-10-15: Added GeminiMobiusEZTank design, which incorporates reinforced side rails for those needing additional holding power for their Mobius cameras at a slightly increased weight. Instructions: Print with two outer layers and 100% infill. The standard version resembles the stock mount but features enhanced grip capabilities. The Ez version will work well on one-nozzle printers - I highly recommend choosing this model, as it's a more refined design. This print has been scaled up in x and y by a factor of 1.019 to account for ABS material shrinkage, unless you use the tilt or tank models, which require an adjusted scale (now 1.01 in x and y dimensions). You might need to adjust this setting based on your printer and used materials.
