Quick-change GoPro Mount
Description
#Quick-change GoPro Mount (Magnetic) I'm currently setting up my workspace, and needed a simple way to mount a GoPro (or any other action cam) on various walls. When starting this project I had two simple design needs. First, and most importantly, I needed a secure mount that had no chance of falling or wiggling around. Secondly, I needed a way to easily and quickly change angles without having to unscrew the GoPro every time. These design criteria, along with my limited fusion360 skills, has led to the final model posted. BILL OF MATERIALS > * 4 x Screws & Anchors (M4) https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07HQ4YMYY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 > * 2 x Neodymium Magnets (12.7mm x 2.25mm) https://www.michaels.com/pro-mag-neodymium-magnets-.5%22%22/10382640.html > * 1 x M5 Nut > * Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue) > * Desired GoPro Mounting Accessories (I use a standard GoPro long twist extender, with 2 long screws) ### PARTS TO PRINT There are 3 parts to print. > 1. Print __Mount-Top.stl__ _once_ per camera. > 2. Print __Mount-Pin.stl__ twice per camera. > 3. Print __Mount-Base.stl__ as many times as you need. Just remember, you will need 1 magnet per base. <br> #ASSEMBLY Assembly is pretty straight forward, > 1. Starting with the top, put a drop of super glue in the designated magnet hole. > 2. Followed by firmly inserting the magnet. Wait the recommended amount of time needed for the super glue to set. > 3. Once the glue has hardened, go ahead and drop your second magnet onto the first one that's already in the top. (The polarity of the magnets should self align allowing you to confidently install the other magnet(s) in the base.) > 4. From here, you can apply a drop of super glue into the magnet hole on the _Mount-Base.stl_, > 5. Followed by squeezing the two pieces together. > 6. Insert the locking keys and wait for the super glue to set. > 7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for each _Mount-Base.stl_. > 8. Mount your bases in the desired location. > 9. Now that you're all set, attach your camera to the _Mount-Top.stl_. This entire assembly should now snap onto the base. The _Mount-Pin.stl_ can be inserted to provide additional stability and peace of mind. <br> #USE If you're like me and have installed bases all over your workshop, with this print, you can now quickly and effortlessly change angles without disrupting your workflow. Simply remove the locking pin, pull the entire top assembly off the base and snap it into the new location. I used magnets I had on hand, if you need a different magnet size or screw size, ask nicely and I may be willing to make updates.
