Day 3: Go-Pro Headmount Adapter

I have a headset designed for a Go-Pro camera.  The only trouble is that I don't own a Go-Pro camera.  The challenge today is to build an adapter to mount my Nokia Lumia 1020 to this headset.  This design took 24 minutes.

I've had a little trouble getting this built today.  First, my extruder jammed and I couldn't clear the nozzle.  I ended up switching out the .35mm nozzle for a .5mm.  I realized I was going to need a knob and screw to hold the adapter onto the headgear.  I also extended the base of the adapter to extend the entire length of the phone.  The new design is shown to the right.
  I printed both pieces and found the hex head on the screw fit just a little too tightly in the knob.  The fins were a little too thick.  Also the screw mounting hole was too close to the head mount, causing the camera to be crooked.  I made changes to the design file and printed them out again.  Total design time was about 2:30.  Print time for both pieces was 59 minutes.  I had to do a little cleanup with a file and this time everything worked out.  Cleanup time was about 10 minutes.
