arducam day and night case and mount ender 6

thingiverse

this is a redesign of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3590589. front cover has been faced off (original has a very random step either side of the cameras making it difficult to print in a high resolution as 50% of the front face was not in contact with the bed) a pivot ball built into the case and a socket clamp mount. i decided on a 2 piece mounting system for extra articulation as well as being able to get the camera right over the corner of the printer so it doesnt hinder access reaching over the top and doesnt require drilling/modifying the corner pieces of the printer chassis mount is attached to ender 6 using https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3050607 and 2 m3x10 cap heads socket mount attached to chassis mount using 1 m3x16 cap head. put bolt thought chassis mount and tighten to a nut to draw the nut into the hole on underside for it to become captive, so you can slacken and adjust mount when required. then remove bolt and fit the socket mount. should be a tight fit to aid in stability. socket is clamped with 1 m3x12 i suggest using a very small amount of superglue on the nuts when pushing them into the t nuts. the nuts are not a snap fit and fall out when trying to install them in the rail. i suggest installing the t nuts and turnung them in the rail with a pair of tweezers of small screwdriver or something before attempting to screw mount to them. you will find it probably wont work if you try to loosly fit the t nuts to the mount and then drop into the rail.
