Welcome to the very first official 3D Hubs Talk Design Contest

GoPro accessories have become a staple of the 3D printing world and we continually see new ways in which 3D printing is bringing these cool cameras to the next level. So we thought with the launch of the new GoPro Session 4 what better way to showcase this than with a Design Competition. The cubic shape of the new Session 4 means some fun can be had with design, see the attached photos for some inspiration of previous GoPro design.

The brief is simple: create an innovative accessory which is original in its design and fit for purpose. Attached you will find an STL file which you can use as the basis of your design, its a simplified block with the same dimensions as the new go pro!

What would a competition be without prizes! For those who own a 3D printer we will be giving away some filaments as epic as Tony Hawk’s 900, Proto Pasta’s Stainless Steel and Carbon Fiber PLA! Major props to Proto Pasta for sponsoring. For those that do not own a 3D printer we haven’t forgotten you, were hooking you up with a $100 gift voucher. Not only this, we will feature your kickass design on all our social media channels, showcasing your skills to over 50,000 3D Hubs fans.

Details

The Official Brief: Come up with an innovative accessory for the new GoPro Session 4 which is 3D printable. The 3D printed parts can be used in conjunction with non printed parts. You can use the cube block provided or make something for the regular GoPro mounts (see pictures).
