Windshield for Insta360 X5
I designed a windshield for the Insta360 X5 that fits snugly around the camera. The goal was a simple, easily printable solution that reduces wind noise without significantly increasing the camera's size.
Important note: I haven't been able to conduct a real-world test yet, as my season is just beginning. However, the windshield fits quite snugly and, in my opinion, should hold up easily at least up to about 130 km/h. As soon as I've done some initial rides with it myself, I will naturally add my feedback. I am also very much looking forward to feedback from the MakerWorld community.
The windshield is equipped with foam on the inside. I recommend using it together with a silicone case for the X5. This makes the windshield fit much better, as the friction between the case and the windshield is higher. If necessary, I might adjust the dimensions later to optimize a version without a silicone case as well.
For printability reasons, I deliberately omitted additional air inlets on the front. However, the microphone areas have small openings so that sound can still be recorded.
The model should ideally be printed from PETG. The material is more UV-resistant than PLA and at the same time a bit more flexible, making it better suited for a component that is slipped over the camera.
During printing, small overlaps may occur at some curves. However, these can be very easily removed with side cutters or a utility knife.
I myself only printed the model in Blue because that filament was currently loaded in the printer. Of course, any color can be used.
In my fit tests so far, I also found no problems with the camera's stitching line. Nothing seems to protrude into the camera's field of view or obscure it.
The design is loosely based on an X5 windshield I once saw somewhere. I then set about designing it myself and implemented the model according to my ideas. Therefore, it is naturally not as fine and delicate as a commercial product â hopefully, it still serves its purpose.
Please let me know what you think of it and share your experiences if you test it!
