VHoldR Contour camera cover – 3d printer
I made this part a loooong time ago but never uploaded the video for some reason. oh well, consider it uploaded now… This is an item I use with my Helmet camera in all the action videos you can find on my channel. It’s taken many direct hits and stays in the fight, plus making helped to make the cleaning process much easier while off the field.

We recently completed a project that required automated insert molding, insert verification, and some assembly performed by an articulated arm 6 axis robot. Mold Description Four (4) – four cavity molds with locations for placement of washers for insert molding. 2 molds of 4 cavities x 3 washers per load (12 washers), 2 molds of 4 cavities x 6 washers (24 washers) per load. The Process Sequence Washer loader presents 4 cavities worth of washers to end of arm tool. Camera system for each workcell to verify mold conditions prior to a beam robot entering the mold to place washers into the tool for molding and overmold parts removal. Hands off overmolded parts to 6 axis articulated arm robot. Robot verifies presence of washers in overmolded parts. Feed foot pads for assembly by robot. Robot assembles foot pads into overmolds. Robot separates left hand and right hand parts (2 of each) and places the product on the conveyor.
Yep the support material is held in a separate cartridge. I don’t know the exact cost on it since I’ve never had to buy more. The design of the support depends on how the printing program was written, but in this particular model it was 0.29 cu-in. Usually only the taller models will use the same volume of support since it must “build up” around the outside to keep it steady.
Awesome! Thanks for the reply. Seems like that works out (in material, not including electricity to run the device) abour 5.50 per cubic inch.. so that bracket cost, in plastic material about 2 bucks? Does the machine use a seperate cartrige for the support material? if so how much does that cost?
it’s a Dimension 768 SST. They use cartridges of material that cost about $280 for around 58 cubic inches of material. This part was 0.338 cu-in so you can do the math!
which brand/model printer did u use? Wondering how much the materials cost to make that part.
I’ve never seen anything like that before in my life. It was like watching them make mila jovovich in that movie the fifth element.
very cool
