Ender 3 Handle with Camera Mount

thingiverse

**UPDATE 3:** Final update...the threads are definitely in the way as currently designed. If you choose to use this, you **WILL** need to modify to get this out of the way, or avoid using the front inch or so of the bed. I ended up cutting that part off and designing a new camera mount that mounts off the corner of the bed. **UPDATE 2:** Discovered today that just the threads alone can block the hotend if the bed is close to or all the way to the back. If anything was attached to the threads, it would be even worse. So I recommend caution if you decide to use this. Might make sense to remix it in a way that moves the threaded part away from the bed. **UPDATE:** I'm going to leave this thing up, in case it's useful to others, but I'm probably not going to use it for my webcam, as my Logitech C310 has too narrow a field of view to capture the whole build area when mounted on this. Might work for a camera with a wider angle lens. Also, be aware that if you want the handle to be stiffer, you may want to print with higher infill. With 25% infill, mine is quite flexible, and with the weight of the camera on it, the camera bounces around when the bed moves abruptly. I like the result, and I may add a screw-on Pi camera mount, since that would at least be less likely to bounce around, but it's not great for a heavier camera. **ORIGINAL:** Combined the 2020 base from this thing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3147899 with the bed handle I'm remixing. Added a Y-offset mount to get further distance from the bed and hotend. Note that I printed the Y-offset mount in the orientation shown, with supports. This leaves the less pretty side on the bottom. You can experiment with orientation to see if you can get better results.
