Photographic Adventures with a 3D Printer. Part 6: Groundpod


I found and printed this excellent design by 'fluefisker' for a ground pod on the MakerWorld website HERE. I realised that its bottom is flat rather than the dished, inverted Frisbee shape favoured by manufacturers and which allows easier sliding along the ground. I thus designed (Fusion 360) and printed a suitably shaped bottom part and attached it using contact adhesive.



At a diameter of 256 mm this groundpod is at the maximum size for my Bambu Lab A1 3D printer. The two parts could of course be printed smaller. I printed them on a textured plate in order to provide a slightly rough surface for the adhesive.
