<h1>3D Printed Teleprompter for GoPro 5, 6 and 7 Camera</h1>
<b>Description:</b>
This is a custom-designed 3D-printed teleprompter specifically created for the GoPro 5 camera, ideal for content creators who want to read scripts or notes while recording. It's designed to be compact, easy to assemble, and compatible with a variety of other small cameras. In addition to the 3D-printed parts, it uses some easy-to-find materials to complete the build, making it a practical and affordable teleprompter for creators on a budget.
<b>Materials Needed (besides 3D-printed parts):</b>
Glass from a picture frame: 20 x 28 cm (to use as the reflective surface)
Monitor: 11.6" (this will display the script or text to reflect on the glass)

Bolts and Nuts: M4 x 25 bolts and M4 nuts (for securing the parts together)
<b>Assembly Instructions:</b>
Print the Parts: Download the STL files provided, and print the parts using your preferred filament. Make sure all parts are printed with the appropriate settings for durability and stability.
Prepare the Reflective Glass: Take the glass from a picture frame of size 20 x 28 cm. This glass will be placed at a 45-degree angle within the teleprompter frame to reflect the text from the monitor while allowing the GoPro to record through it.
Monitor Setup: The 11.6" monitor will be placed flat at the bottom of the teleprompter, facing upward. This will display the text that gets reflected onto the glass.
Assemble the Frame: Use M4 x 25 bolts and M4 nuts to assemble the 3D-printed parts, securing the frame that holds the glass and GoPro mount. The frame is designed to hold everything tightly and provide stability.
Mount the GoPro 5 Camera: Attach your GoPro 5 camera behind the glass. The teleprompter design ensures that the camera records through the glass without capturing any of the reflected text, while you can clearly see the script.
<b>Additional Notes:</b>
This teleprompter design is perfect for vloggers, YouTubers, or anyone who needs a compact teleprompter setup for small cameras like the GoPro 5.
The open design makes it easy to adjust the setup for other similar-sized cameras if needed.
Make sure to use a teleprompter app or software that mirrors the text for correct reflection on the glass.
This project is designed to be simple and affordable for anyone with access to a 3D printer and basic materials. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment or share your make!
