Morning all, I've recently bought a smith Forefront helmet and I'm after a gopro / light mount for it.

I found the following on https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2396260 and it looks superb trouble is I don't have a 3D printer.

Any ideas where I could get one of these printed

Cheers

Have you tried r3pro? They do 3d printed stuff, already made up and they seem quite good from the stuff I've got from them.

I used to print them for people but then they moaned about charging them postage at cost so I gave up.

Not used my printer in an age but could give it a crack tomorrow if you like.

"But I could buy one in the shop for that"

In that case why are you asking me to spend a couple of hours of my time doing something for you to save £3.99?

Or even more annoying, the people that just send you an Amazon link and "something like this".

That's exactly how it went down or "I know I said pink but I'd call this fuchsia, can I have a refund?"

I am happy to do it overnight or possibly tomorrow as my printers are tied up at the moment! Will require some manual clean-up (by you lol) as it doesn't have a flat base so will have to be printed with supports. HOWEVER there is a comment that it doesn't fit the v2 helmet, is that what you've got (bearing in mind the file was uploaded 2017) or do you think it'll fit yours?

Definitely r3pro..they do virtually everything.
We have them under visor and on top of my dropframes also on my lads 100% full face.

Fast delivery and good products.

Highly recommended.
