Dual Zebralight GoPro Mount by caveradam

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

This is a remix of @kriegerkrieg's dual zebra mount.
The original mount wasn't long enough to rotate on my GoPro mount so I extended the mount portion to be a bit longer (and more oblong).
Additionally, I wanted to add a bit more security (other than rubber bands) to hold the headlights in place when I bump my head, so I added a clip to the front of the design.
I also used Gopro helmet mount (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminum-skydive-Helmet-Black-Mount-Adapter-For-GoPro5-Hero-4-3-3-/132127746616?hash=item1ec36d6a38:g:ad4AAOSw2gxYygOk) as recommended on the orginal design, but I slimmed down the mount portion so that it will fit in my plastic mounts (very snugly) as well.
100% infill is required. This is a fairly thin layer of plastic and it breaks too easily when you hit your head if you don't do full infill.
Print with supports everywhere. It is annoying, but there is a lip inside of the round section that does not print well without supports. This lip is what keeps your zebralight from sliding back and forth (and makes a nice firm fit).
I have printed with PET-G so that this mount will not deform in a hot car/trailer during transport. I would recommend any temperature tolerant plastic. This is after all meant to go places. PET-G is also fairly resistant to impact.
IPT files have been attached in addition to the STL files.
There are two different sizes of zebralight headlamp (or more?) and the clip only works for the smallest ones (and is over tight even then). The clip needs to be re-designed. I also might need to design the mount for each of the different sizes, although they fit now.
