C270 Magnetic Camera Boom

thingiverse

This is a magnetic webcam boom I made for my C270 webcam. It is based on two mounts listed in the references. I redesigned this mount to use a piece of 4mm aluminum rod or carbon fiber to help with drooping. It uses a clamp so the moving portion has friction with the clamp but the bolt and nut don't move. I also added a counter balance for the camera. If I didn't, the camera would eventually rotate as the set screw will not be able to hold that much twisting force. I updated the Mount to use 4mm rods. and added a knuckle in the middle of the rod. The magnets are 12mm x 3mm. I picked them up at my local hardware store. You will also need : (3) M3x6 cap screws (2) M3 x15 plus M3 Lock nuts (1) M3 x12 cap crew and lock nut (1) 4mm x 200mm of carbon fiber rod or aluminum rod (1) 4mm x 100mm of carbon fiber rod or aluminum rod I included an alternate version with the camera mount horizontal. It will require supports touching the base. Print Settings Printer Brand: Wanhao Printer: Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: .2 Infill: 50% Notes: This will require a brim since the ball on the camera mount as very little touching the bed. The Camera mount (part with the with the big ball) will require 50% infill for strength. The rest of the parts are good with 30% infill. Post-Printing The fit of the magnets is tight so clean out the hole before pressing it in. The magnets should hold the weight of the mount. However it may twist. to assist with grip, Cover the magnets with Kapton Tap. It will help keep the mount from slipping on the metal.
