Summary

Emerson helmet camera mount.

Background

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.

Resolution

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.

Assemble

After printing it, you have to put all pieces in place and use any instant glue (just in case, double check before using glue)

Extra

The tool I used to do all the modifications was: https://www.tinkercad.com/

I hope you like it!
