Attaching a GoPro to your forks using a 3d printed mount

Using a model from Thingiverse: Gopro MTB Front suspension Mount by toontje75

I only wish I had had black filament to use...

Hows your auto stabilization with that rig? Gonna be awfully bouncy.....

 

[Tetsugaku]

Very much so... but, the camera can do some if I turn it on and I can stabilise it again using my Mac ? something should come out!

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Looks neat. I could probably attach my gimbal to that too.

Thingiverse have lots of stuff like this which can be useful, not all of it well designed (this is very over engineered for example) but sometimes you just can't get a thing from any manufacturer

Do you have a 3D printer?

 

[Tetsugaku]

I do indeed. I made it myself from a kit,

Original Prusa i3 MK3 - Prusa3D - 3D Printers from Josef Průša

Saved 25% by doing it myself, bit like a complicated lego kit.

Nice! Very interesting. What else have you made?

I’ve not had it long so I’m just experimenting, but some useful things you can’t buy, like wall mounts for my electric toothbrush chargers, my little pony figures and coins for my kids, a doorstop of all things..... I like to be able to fix and do things myself when I can, things for the bike seemed ideal!

@Rob do you do the EMTB YouTube videos? I can easily print you a mount if you want to use one

Yes that’s me ?

That’d be awesome if you could? Let me know the price via PM?

Oh don't worry about that, think of it as a thank you for setting up the forums if you'd like? I can try to print one in black as well so it doesn't look quite so out of place on the bike.

Wow thank you, that’s very kind ?

 

[Tetsugaku]

I am actually printing this now!

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Woah!

 

[Tetsugaku]

Takes 6 hours, bloody noisy as well but it should be all good I don't have any adhesive foam to put in the bit that goes round the fork so you might need to pop something in there to stop it spinning around, cable ties used to mount it as well - easy

That looks bloody brilliant!
