<p>A camera case and arm to attach the innards of a Microsoft HD3000 to a Prusa i3 MK2 bed for smoother time lapses.</p> <p>Uses a wide angle lens that can be found on ebay/amazon.<br/> The one I got: <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/252732341201">http://www.ebay.com/itm/252732341201</a></p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>i3 MK2S</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div></p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>ABS or other high temp material only!</p> <p>I used Orange Zortrax z-abs @ 250C.
