Universal Thingy Mount v2.0
🕑 Added 2022-06-12 22:29:14 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
As promised, I have just uploaded a few new bases for the Universal Thingy Mount, but there's also a huge update to the entire model!
I was getting ready to design the GoPro attachment when I realized something. The joints that I had already designed in v1 were very similar to the "GoPro-style" attachments, and with a few tweaks I could make the joints themselves compatible, rather than designing a separate attachment for GoPro's. I actually tried to avoid doing it, but in the end decided it would be a huge step towards the goal of making this design as universal as possible.
The Pros:
- There are a ton of phone mounts and other devices that already utilize the GoPro-style joint, so you may already have some phone clamps that can work with this new version.
- The design is now sturdier because the joints use 2-3 "teeth" instead of 1-2. This not only creates more surface area which, in turn, creates more friction to resist parts moving when they're not supposed to, but it is an overall thicker joint to reduce wobbling.
The Cons:
- The one con I can think of is that the bolts and nuts are now M5 instead of M6. This isn't necessarily a con for everyone, unless you already began printing this design. In that case I am very sorry for the change up!
I have removed Version 1 files from the Archives and completely replaced them with Version 2 files. I have also uploaded a few new bases for the mount:
1) C-Clamps: There was already the 30 & 50 mm c-clamps, but I have added 2 new c-clamps:
- 80 mm standard (just like the 30 and 50 mm, but with 80 mm clearance)
- 80 mm shallow (lower thread hole is shallow, designed specifically for heavy duty
metal shelving)
2) Magnetic-L Bracket
- This bracket is designed for metal shelves, and requires bar magnets (60x10x3) to
be inserted after printing.
3) Standalone Base
- A base that doesn't clamp to anything, good for using the mount on table top.
This redesign and the new clamps took a bit of time the past few days testing parts, but now that i've got them done here are the next couple attachments on my list:
- Phone Mount
- Wyze Cam Mount
- Webcam Mount
- DSLR mount (miiiiiight make a beefier design for this)
Please let me know what else you might like to see from this design, I greatly appreciate your feedback and suggestions!
Here is the link to the files, please make sure to read the Print Instructions in the folder and if you have any questions just let me know!

I would love a beagle camera mount. I am getting mine this week for testing and need a mount for it :)
