Frame mounted, bed tracking, Prussia/Creality/Ender 3D printer camera mount for Time-lapses

thingiverse

Challenge: to design camera mount that can record time-lapses of printing large objects that would work with Ender3 or other Prussia type of 3D printer. Obstacles: Wide angle lens are not wide enough for large objects and traditional bed mounts: bed mounts with arms will add weight and will not be very steady for bed oscillation. Solution: Mount camera on frame, introduce pivoting point and connection to the bed. Take into consideration changes in length and angle of the rod to the bed. Subsequent improvements: introduce variable camera angle adjustment and use of 1/4-20 tripod screw to make it more universal. Parts used and print settings are at the end of video.
