3D printing in Cape Town

[Americo]

Hi Guys,

 

I'm looking for a place where to print a Garmin Virb Ultra Cage. The original one I got makes a very annoying noise when I record videos while cycling. So I'm looking to make my own. 

 

I already got the file designed, just need someone to print it for me

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated

 

Thank you

Hey Americo,

 

I do a lot of printing for work, mostly prototyping. I do some functional parts, but they do have a fairly short life span.

 

If you want to try match the strength of your current injection moulded part you need to beef your part up by increasing wall thicknesses. The issue is the tabs for the gopro mount, put the biggest possible radius at the bottom. Choose your material and printer carefully they aren't all created equal.

 

If i was doing it I would print to check sizing and fit, and then get it cut on a CNC from HDPE or Aluminum.

 

Cheapest option is to stick a bit of rubber or foam in your current casing, but wheres the fun in that! Hahaha
