Modified prusa mini printbed mount bracket for the Articulating Raspberry Pi Camera Mount

thingiverse

This is a modified version of Andre2222's Prusa Mini printbed camera mount. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4300857) I wanted to be able to use sneaks' Articulating camera mount system (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3114849) on my mini and didn't have a lot of luck finding brackets. I found Robee's mount that goes under the printer (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4220289) and it works pretty well, but I thought a bed mount would be a lot more clear when viewing remotely and taking time lapse with Octoprint. I'm brand new to 3d printing and Fusion 360 so there might be many problems with this design and the files, but it is working for me and I wanted to share. My remix is the same other than changing the mount point to a female mount point for the articulated camera mounting system, and one that has been extended 30 mm in order to eliminate the need to use a articulated camera mount link to bring the camera back away from the bed far enough to avoid collision with the print head. I have included versions that mount the same as Andre2222's which is on the right of the printbed pointing out to the front of the printer. I'm also including two other versions (each one with both normal length and extended options as well) that mount to the left side of the bed pointing out to the left or to the front. I like the left mount pointing to the left position because it allows my camera to also see the filament roll so I can keep an eye on how much is left. I'll also include a STEP file to make it easier for anyone who would like to customize it further for their use, converting Andre2222's stl files was a painful experience that I hope to not subject anyone to! Please note that you do not have to remove the screw on the bottom of the printbed to install this, the hole is big enough to allow the screw to fit through it. I didn't realize this when I first was trying to mount these. You attach the brackets using zip ties. Be careful when you are connecting the zip ties to avoid interfering with the bed. I hope this is helpful for someone else, please let me know what you think. https://youtu.be/dbfAX6GXuaU https://youtu.be/RUiYjD_iA1c
