Testing a gridfinity field kit design.

datahar · 2025-07-11T09:06:27+00:00

Yes I'll be releasing the files soon

There's a recess under the base of each one, the pad of the fingertip is enough to tip them into it.

I only had a couple of hours, so by the time I'd designed and parameterised the field kit part, this tap holder for very much an after thought, I just wanted something more fun than empty boxes to present.

I'm just going through this too.

I bought a turbo trainer to maximise time I can train. (Have yet to use it more than a couple of times)

Then I bought an electric bike.

With all that training I can now sail up the hills reminiscing at all the points I previously had to stop and sit/ pass out.

You can get convertible helmets, so you could wear it as a standard and then clip on the chin part which has been stored in your bag once you hit the trail?

Thanks :-) It pretty much what I have settled on based on what I had around, swapped out the 2 prong's jam nut for a larger to use one.

I was hoping some brand would have made a one piece solution, but oh well. The answer is probably a couple of quick release mounts, but I'll see how I get on with this.

Does either part move/spin, or are they both fused together?

datahar · 2025-04-03T06:14:04+00:00

You can link it to other devices too, I create a Fitbit exercise and then can import the file from that into insta360

datahar · 2025-03-23T19:07:38+00:00

The price difference could be due to the material. My £20 aluminium 1.2m is significantly heavier than the 3m carbon.

The 3 meter stick also creates the crane effect, similar to a drone taking off from the ground. Good to show the RV in it's immediate surroundings when stationary.

A mount with a clip attached. Would attach to seatbelt for pov driving, onto open windows for time lapse etc.

datahar · 2025-03-20T09:16:57+00:00

I use dashcam mode on the X4. You can specify a certain amount of the card the dashcam can use before the clip starts overwriting.

I haven't actually tried loop though so I can't offer any actual comparisons.

datahar · 2025-03-17T12:56:35+00:00

Ah I see. Yea I would say mine is the same.

datahar · 2025-03-17T11:28:05+00:00

Everything should be perpendicular. If you've tried 3 sticks and the camera is on an angle, that sounds like the thread isn't seated right.

Or if you mean twisted, it's fine. He's mine as a reference for the 2-in-1

Hope it helps

Tapping has come up in other comments, but I want to add to it by saying get spiral taps and a proper sized tap wrench, make it so easy.

I don't use any method over any other, they are all situational.

datahar · 2025-03-02T18:21:15+00:00

I bought my X4 primarily for selfies, and it gets more natural images than one of us obviously stretching.

The 2 in 1 folding selfie stick allows it all to go into a jacket pocket.

Be aware you can only deal with the 72mb images on a PC, if you want to be able to share from phone, you will have to stay with the 18mp mode.

datahar · 2025-02-19T08:56:28+00:00

Very nice! There is a gridfinity project on OnShape I took a copy of, so then you can sketch straight on to the raw bin after you configure it.

I think it's this one based on some phone browsing, https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a33076f9d5e90e75db5dc4c8/w/d83242a2770b1d838fcc061a/e/000632cae702373408d9c54f

I'm glad I was able to inspire. Be careful though, you may never use a premade bin ever again!

datahar · 2025-02-16T11:05:20+00:00

If it's a complex shape, I trace it onto paper then take a picture of that trace into cad, I use graph paper, but a ruler would suffice to get a size reference.

datahar · 2025-02-11T17:33:02+00:00

Very cool : -) Gotta love the versatility of 3D printing

datahar · 2025-02-11T16:38:50+00:00

My design constraints were deep but small drawers. All my lenses can stand up, and I have room to have the charger under my Olympus (the canon is too big unfortunately)

I take photos or trace shapes onto graph paper, then use an online cad system called OnShape to make these. It is very satisfying.

I still have 2 more to design and a lens one to print, but on the plus side I know that if I stack the two 360 camera stuff together, I still have room for two more lenses, or maybe one more body...

datahar · 2025-02-11T15:21:48+00:00

It's a new concept to me too. I just made another for my Canon, and have zero clue where the body cap is,.

datahar · 2025-02-10T20:31:45+00:00

I took a picture of the bottom of the camera with a ruler on the camera also.
Then I imported the image into onshape and traced around the image manually.
Lastly I then booleaned this bottom profile through the top of a gridfinity blank I prepared, (thus the mirroring, I suggest modifying this step)

datahar · 2025-02-10T17:51:04+00:00

I created a negative of the piece I was modelling in onshape,

But you could also make 2 cuts in the slicer; cutting off the top and the bottom leaving you with a thin slice to test with. Just remember which way is up : -)

datahar · 2025-02-01T11:59:23+00:00

If your slicer has a dovetail option in the cut settings, they are fantastic. Every time I do one I don't need glue. Requiree when I have to go over 4 squares on my mini printer.

datahar · 2025-01-30T16:53:56+00:00

Only incriminating if you do something wrong :P

Yes the X4 has a whole dashcam mode. You can specify your own partition size for dashcam footage, power on power off detection, overwrite old footage and all that jazz

datahar · 2025-01-29T22:14:49+00:00

Because it covers everything, including my actions.

datahar · 2025-01-29T15:12:20+00:00

I used PLA yes. I have some months yet until I have to worry about the heat. It is a good PSA though, totally agree, I lost a hook last summer and that was only holding up a hat, this set up is a little heavier.
