Ender 3 CA601 Bed Mount Camera Arm

thingiverse

I designed this as a remix of my previous bed-mount camera arm when I upgraded my camera. The arm can be printed at 0.2mm layer height but the screw prints better at 0.1. The CA601 camera is larger than the C270 but also has a larger FOV so I increased the angle of the arm to better fit within the LACK enclosure. To install, remove the bed height adjustment wheels from all four corners of your print bed, Be careful to not lost your springs. Slide the camera mount on one corner of your bed and align the holes on the mount with the hole used by the bed screw. The mount is made to fit around the spring so don't remove the spring. Run the bed screw back through the holes so that they pass through the camera mount and print base plate. Screw the adjustment wheels back down far enough so your printer nozzle won't destroy your print bed like I did mine. Then pass the screw through the back of the arm and screw it into the screw hole on the bottom of the camera as shown in the side view picture. Take care when printing with a bed temperature higher than 60. I started printing with ASA at 100 and the arm I printed in PLA+ warped so that the camera was looking at the ceiling of my enclosure.
