Post-Printing

*Removing support material was easy, rafts not really

How I Designed This

Changed a few variables so that the nuts and bolts I had lying around would fit

            <div><p>// The diameter of the head of the screw and the nut<br>gopro_bar_screw_head_d= 7;<br>gopro_bar_screw_nut_d= 7;</p><p>// The locking nut<br>gopro_nut_d= 8</p></div>

Custom Section

What I learned

            <div><p>*Polishing with a dremel tool does not yield good results. At higher speeds the plastic will melt very quickly. Shininess is gone</p><p>*Less than 1 min of a nail polisher bath smoothens thing out but also creates ugly white crust. Color is totally lost</p><p>*Using a lighter to recover looks makes it worse</p><p>*Dremeling again removes most of the crust</p><p>*The final result is acceptable and the thing does its job of being a mount. Also looks good on my crappy Amsterdam bike:)</p></div>
