Shopnation Hose adapter with gopro mount

Updated 2024-07-05 for new base part and adapters.

I bought the DWS779/780 kit and it's a really slick design, but was not a fan of ziptiing the port to the power cable.  Made a really slopy connection and didn't really trust it.  Had recently done something similar for a helmet mount for a gopro cam that didn't really work with the contour of the helmet.  The base mount was super solid and figure this was another good application.  This makes it easy to remove the extration port if i need to or if something breaks or if want a different style.   There is a little bit of an intial breakin period for the adapters to the base, after working them 2-3 times it makes a much nicer fit (this may vary by printer).

To mount the base if flat or countour doesn't work well or keeps coming off. 

1. Remove adhesive and scuff up bottom with sandpaper.
2. Clean the bottom and where you are going to mount it (I use Isopropyl Alcohol)
3. Take out putty and cut about a ⅓ of the stick off, put the rest back in.
4. Smash up the putty per the instructions.
5. Place the golb on bottom of the base and try to loosly spread it out.
6. Press the mount down hard on the mounting surface.
   1. Goal is to press out extra material and make sure you get full contact.
7. Use a putty knife to scrape any extra material that was pressed out to clean up.
8. Use a pick to get any material that came up inside the mount.
   1. The more material you get out now the less clean up later.
9. Once you get most the material cleaned up and let it dry till the next day.
10. Sand and pick out and bits that got in the track or untill the mount clicks in again. 

Print info

• Printed with PLA @ 0.20mm slice hight with a ∅0.40mm nozzle.  If I could do abs I would have for this. 
• Print large end down on base.
• I used a little support for the tabs to the base only, but do as need for your printer.  I think i probably could have gotten away without it.
