PRUSA MK3 GoPro Camera mount

thingiverse

While I appreciated the original Logitech webcam version of this item, I really wanted a GoPro mount so we could generate timelapsed 360 videos of the model shop so that clients could see 3D prints, laser cutters, and assembly all in the same video. Big difference on this one, from the original, is that the vertical tower is not screw together. I wanted to ensure a sturdy mount for the extra weight of the GoPro, so this is a monolithic (one piece) print. Again, for stability, an angled flange was added to the horizontal arm. The more infill you're willing to dedicate to this print, the better. I opted for 50% because I was running of the PETG black filament. This is strictly to minimize video wobble caused from bed vibrations. It has a friction fit on the front right corner of the Prusa bed, so it's easy to remove if/when needed. Another benefit of using a GoPro for this instead of the Logitech webcam is the video quality is FAR superior. Two options are available, the first has the GoPro mount straight (intended for 360 cameras since camera orientation isn't too important) and the second has an angled mount to better aim a non 360 GoPro towards the center of the print bed. Enjoy.
