(almost) fully printed GoPro steady cam

Description

This Steady Cam Only Needs A Few Non-Printed Parts, The Rest Can Be Printed. Z Rotation Is Enabled By A 608 Ball Bearing, While The Other Two Axes Are Just Running On M4 Screws. The Design Works Great - Of Course, A "Pendulum Type" Steady Cam Like This One Has Some Drawbacks, But It'S Still Good Enough For Some Really Nice Action Footage! After Designing This, I Found One Here Which Is Also Very Simple And Cheap And Additionally Has A Very Nice Design: Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:84142. Maybe I Should Have Searched First ;-) I Really Liked Maximfilm'S Idea Of The Handles For The Threaded Rod, So I Decided To Adopt It And Also Add One Above And Below The Gimbal. Anyway, This One Is Even Cheaper. I Paid 1 Euro For A 1M M8 Rod And About 3 Euros For Almost A Kilogram Of Nuts And Washers At Our Local Hardware Discounter. The Most Expensive Part Is The Bearing - If You Have To Buy It. I Took Mine From An Old Pair Of Rollerblades. So, Together With Approx. 20 Meters Of Pla, Total Cost Is Much Less Than 10 Euros. Update: Parts Were Re-Uploaded In The Orientation I Printed Them.
