Thanks for the tip on the HP material and the model tweak suggestion.

This is my first go around with printing plastic from Shapeways. I have a lot to learn. Unfortunately it's quite expensive once you include the price of shipping. Not sure if I'll make a version 2.0 or try and epoxy the piece I made into the Wahoo mount at this point.

It is about the same price as Premium Black or White, but it is stronger and has an eggshell finish. I think I had to tweak a few thicknesses on the Wahoo mount so that Shapeways didn't automatically reject the model for wall thickness.

Unfortunately, this is still a Makers Only material, but as soon as it goes public I will disable the Premium Black and White and replace it with the Gray and Black HP Nylon parts in my listings.

Also a suggestion on that model, make your GoPro section a bit shorter, space permitting.
