GoPro Fusion 360° shoulder mount

My 360° camera (a GoPro Fusion) can take very interesting pictures, but it has one problem: Due to its size, it can’t be easily attached with a normal action cam stand (I also ride e.g. inline skates without a helmet). So what to do? I have started my Hash Animation:Master and my 3d printer and some test prints and various attempts later, I have created a first, working shoulder mount for my VR cam recordings. I’m not completely satisfied ...

AMD Ryzen – My new PC for content creation (with Hash Animation:Master) and Games (Part 1/3)

Last week I bought a new PC which should replace my AMD Phenom II x6 1090T-based mahine as my main pc. My x6 has been a reliable computer for many years (over 7 years) but nowadays it is getting more frequent, that even the minimal requirements of PC games are not matched anymore. If you think about how old that machine really is, it is more than astonishing how long that has taken to be the case. To be honest, that machine is a grandpa today. ...

Because of that I created a revised version of it in A:M, brought it over to Makerware and printed a new one out – this time with normal PLA. Till now it works perfectly. These are the images starting with the design till the final products ...
