I can’t find dimensions of workable model of the GoPro mount (the parts that angles the mount) Anyone? Just the dimensions so I can draw it myself.
Happy you went for a Sketchfab ‘show off’ @mercury, it certainly does the model justice 
Love the way you think, Andy Really cool submission, indeed!
@Krumbacher Looking good!
@Professional3D Digital replacement parts built just-in-time do take up less shelf space
@lucibrandus Mouth mount…wow, never seen that before! Very creative!!! When do you suggest using this style mount?
@paoloboni Totally tubular! Always been a Ninja Turtle fan so I couldn’t help myself…Great idea!!!
@mercury This one I’d love to try out! Wonder what the image quality would be like if it survives the forces?!?!
Crafting something or when you have your hands full.

@lucibrandus like when you hold a flashlight in your mouth? That’s why they make those head mountable ones 
OK! Here we go! Admittedly, I’m not the greatest CAD designer on Earth. Probably not in my street but, hey! Here’s my entry. It’s a holder for the new GoPro that can be used as a Tinkerplay component. I designed the case in Fusion360 ( 45x45x40mm with mainly 12mm fillets minus 35x35x35mm with 7.5mm fillets on 4 sides ) ,exported it to STL, then imported that to Tinkercad and attached some Tinkerplay ends from the library. Aaaaaaand…Voila!! 
The original idea was to make it a Tinkerplay head, with big ears, a hipster haircut and a single-lens RayBan Wayfarer. Maybe a nice beard and moustache too, but I couldn’t make it to the Fusion 360 training and would have ended up throwing my Mac out of the window before the design was finished. I’m not sure quite how practical it is, as you probably can’t get to the controls and once it’s fitted, you might have problems getting the GoPro out but I think it’s a kinda interesting concept and it could be a stepping-off point for all kinds of cool “X-pod” designs for the GoPro. Just goes to show how easy it is too. If I can do it, anyone can!
Thought I’d add a Sketchfab link too!
Cheers!

Thought I’d try a rather more practical version. This time with provision for 3 legs and access to the button! Not practical. Just more practical! And no more easy to print!
Cheers!

Hey Kev, thanks for entering. Think it would be pretty useful.
Thanks guys. You’ve encouraged me to try to address the limitations of my previous designs and I came up with this…
It’s a single component that can be printed twice without support. If the two rings are fitted to the GoPro, they allow access to the button, and allow 3 or 4 Tinkerplay legs to be added. If you want to take close-up vertical videos, you can aim the camera down between the legs, or even wrap the legs around something for a secure mount. I’m still not 100% happy with it but I feel like I’m getting close. 
Cheers!

Great idea! Hook it up to a display and it adds a new meaning to the “third eye” 
Alright! Here is my entry:

Pretty cool right?
The best part about this mount is its versatility. You can mount it to:

P.S. Please tell me what you think and don’t hesitate to tell me if you see some flaws I may have missed!
