Description

First things first -  this is a remix of thing:2582106, by Henrique Cisneros on thingiverse. Check out his stuff!

This is a chasecam intended for paragliding. I remixed this model for small printers and added some quirks and features.

I was asked by a friend to print the original model, but unfortunately it would not fit on my Prusa Mini. I split the large feather part in two; the two halves are held together by the original zip-tie holes and I also used some two-part epoxy to stick them to each other. Rest assured, the end result is pretty strong.

I also did not quite trust the integrated GoPro mount because of the print orientation. I separeted it from the main base so that it can be printed vertically. This way, you're not relying on the layer adhesion alone to keep your expensive camera attached and it's way less likely to snap off mid-flight. As a bonus, it can also be replaced in case it wears out. The clip is joined to the base with two M4x10mm countersunk screws and two M4 nyloc nuts. Longer screws will work fine, too.

As an additional safety measure, I added slots in the feather parts to join them to the base with some extra zip ties. This way, if the pegs on the base were to fail, the whole contraption won't fall apart.

We haven't had a chance to test it out yet, but I assume the original author has and since the main design was not changed, it should work about the same. I suggest using PETG for this print since it's not as rigid and will withstand the abuse a little better.
