The file 'GoPro Mount – Emerson Helmet 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 14.0KB.
I was looking for a helmet mount to my camera and I found this option: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1432829
It looked great and I could print it succesfully. The next time I went to play Airsoft I installed the mount but at the first tree I went throught I accidentally crashed with some branches and the mount got fully broken.
After looking it for a while I realiced that the layers orientation was opossite to the force stress. This was the reason that the mount got easily broken.
To solve this problem, I decided to dissasemble into pieces to take profit of the layers direction. This made each piece strong and without need of supports for printing.
After printing it, you have to put all pieces in place and use any instant glue (just in case, double check before using glue)
The tool I used to do all the modifications was: https://www.tinkercad.com/
I hope you like it!
