Talk Contest: GoPro Accessory 3D Design Competition

[Meike]

Question, am I able to upload my accessory to Shapeways too? After the contest is ended ?

[Gfisherwils]

Love the renders looks great!

[Gfisherwils]

Hey Meike, at the end of the day it’s your design so feel free to distribute and share how you see fit.

[Meike]

Thank you… Yes, thanks to a friend I’ve Podium V2 as Rendering software. Easy to use !

Having a bit more fun with the base model, we can now present… GoVision!

Now you can shoot 1st person perspective 3D video without all the hassle of having to physically hold 2 cameras in front of your face

! Caution !

Why just Go Pro, when you can Go Stereo? The small size of the GoPro Session 4 makes it perfect for 3D recording, just clip both GoPro Sessions in, attach to a tripod or GoPro mount and press record simultaneously on both cameras for great stereoscopic HD video.

Designed to be printed without supports on both FDM and SLA printers. To use the tripod version you’ll also need a 1/4" nut.

Edit: Having tried the printed version on a real camera some of the dimensions were off so I’ve created version 2 with correct dimensions. I’ve also added versions optimised for bottom-up SLA printers like the Form 1 by creating channels for the resin to flow through to prevent delayering on the base.

PS. Unfortunately we don’t actually have 2 GoPros to make any 3D films, the action shot is just a bit of Photoshop magic

Hi Everyone,

Let me start off by saying a big thank for all the interest shown with the competition. It’s amazing to see all the talented people on our platform showcasing what they do best. The level of the designs has been incredibly high and has created amazement, laughter and inspiration for myself and I feel the community as well. I will now present all the entries to the guys at Proto-pasta and the winner will be announced on Wednesday.

Watch this space for more competitions coming your way, with the reception this one had we will definitely be doing more. Let me know if you have any cool ideas for themes as I’d love your input.

Thanks again,

George and the 3D Hubs Team!

Well, it was also a big surprise… Just 1 month ago I started think again about the case I’ve designed for this contest… It was at the right time and the right contest to put myself behind the desk and make the best of it… I’m a bit curious, do you print the designs also to judge them on functionality ? Like others have said, many (all?) of us haven’t the GoPro 4 Sessions yet and it was a bit of a guess with all the dimensions. I’ve order a print a 3D Hubs and at the moment it is printing or would be printed in a few hours… Sooo curious to have the idea in my hands tommorow

[Gfisherwils]

Hey Meike, we have not yet printed the designs but would be cool to see indeed! Great to hear you ordered a print, please share once you receive it!

Thanks for participating you all had good ideas and we fun to compete with.

[AlexDick]

Great work everyone…let’s do it again sometime

[Meike]

Thank you for this great contest , to @mercury congratulations with your win, a very original idea I love to see it in practise. Together with the GoPro Stereo from @LOURIMI ! Because I was to curious about my own idea, I’ve printed out via 3DHubs at a very good shop (@liza ), so happy with it and for what I’ve predicted, a very good first prototype of something that could get a family… more Baby Sessions going on air soon…

[Meike]

Totally agree ! This contest was fun !! I promise I won’t do another idea in this same ‘category’ again…Leaving the babies alone… I’ve more ideas to work out…

[AlexDick]

Nice! As a fellow Dad, your entry was in the top 3 for me Hope you get something cool with your Pasta-cash
