Nozzle Cam

thingiverse

Tired of not being able to see first print layer, I changed my ender 3 head to a thin blokhead version. But it was not easy enough. So inspired by [this design]( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4859502) and the way it use the pi-cam, I made an small arm that can be attached to [this blokhead version](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4777217). So It's easier to see the first layer. It needs: - 2 M1.7x8mm screws for attaching pi camera. - and 2 M3x5 for the articulation - and finally one M3x30 for attaching to the blokhead (It reuse the one holding the blower). I used a rubber band to clip the camera cable behind the blower and keep it out of the way for the hotend fan. I used [this clip](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4241350/files) to attach the camera cable to the top of the ender 3 frame. I have reused a pi cam v1.3 for this. It work well enough. Focus is till a bit blurry, and fps are not that great with that version. It is still better that my eyes.. Now what I am missing is nozzle light... Notes: - I moved to .amf file instead of .stl and a such there is no preview on thingiverse.
