The OSCM is part of the Social in 3D project. It consists of already existing parts and 3D printed parts that can be ordered from any rapid manufacture. You just e-mail a 3D model of your product to the company, and a few days later receive a physical copy by mail.

The OSCM consists of parts that are special CAD elements and parts that can be bought ‘off the shelf’ – online or at your local DIY retailer.

The OSCM be used in two versions a) The Suction Cup OSCM for placement on the port side of the dinghy and b) the Quick Grip OSCM for placement on the rudder.

Produce your own OSCM:

You are free to ”produce” you own camera mount and we encourage you to do so and share the result and your experience with the rest of the world.

To do it yourself you need to:

1. Buy the parts that are already produced
2. Download the files for the 3D printed parts
3. Download and use a CAD-program (if you want to manipulate the files)
4. Buy the 3D parts through a company that offers ‘rapid manufacturing’.
5. Get the remaining bits and pieces
6. Assemble your own open source camera mount

Watch the instruction movie below to get full overview of all the parts and how to assemble a) the suction cup camera mount and b) the quick grip clamp camera mount.

Ad. 1: Buy the parts that are already produced

You need:

• The GoPro Suction cup Mount arm.
• The Quick Grip Clamp

Ad. 2: Download the files for the 3D printed parts

DOWNLOAD FILES*

Packet contains:

• The camera holder (two CAD-parts that can be combined)
• The Quick Grip Clamp strengthener** (CAD-part to make the ‘Quick Grip Clamp’ stronger)
• The u-profile (one CAD-part to connect the arm to the alternative clamp)

*To get parts similar to the ones used at the 2010 SAP 505 Worlds you need to use SLA Material: TuskXC2700W

**You need to order two of these parts pr. quick grip camera mount you DON’T need them if you only want to produce the suction cup camera mount.

Ad. 3: Download and use a CAD-program (if you want to manipulate the files)

It is possible to manipulate the CAD-files with programs like the a demo version of the commercial Rhinoceros 3D (Rhinoceros tutorials) and the open-source K-3D. K-3D is free-as-in-freedom 3D modeling and animation software. It combines flexible plugins with a visualization pipeline architecture, making K-3D a versatile and powerful tool. The program has a build-in tutorial.

Ad 4: Buy the 3D parts through a company that offers rapid manufacturing

To get a physical copy of the CAD-parts you need to order them from a ‘rapid manufacturing’ company like Materialise in Belgium, who will produce the parts and send them to you by mail. Just follow the instructions on the Materialise homepage.

Ad 5: Get the remaining bits and pieces

You need:

• 2 screws (X mm) + 2 washers and 2 bolts
• 1 screw (X mm) + washer and bolt.
• String

Ad. 6: Assemble your own OSCM
