Plastic Fantastic

Years ago I saw a Sesame Street episode where a glass of milk is knocked over and a child makes up all sorts of stories about the accident rather than admit guilt (including the famous "Man in a Gorilla Suit" excuse).

In a similar vein I was filming close-ups with a USB digital camera when <**SNAP**> and the semi-circular plastic component that holds the camera body ended up broken.

Rather than admit guilt, I set about designing and printing a replacement. The process extended my FreeCad knowledge and resulted in a new component that fitted the holder exactly and behaved as designed.

Along the way I learned some new skills and resurrected my digital camera holder.

Good result!
