ANET A8 Printer bed mounted camera arm for Auto Level

thingiverse

I've got auto bed leveling installed on my printer, and since I wasn't really using the spring mounted bed adjusters anymore, I decided to hardtail it with some printed spacers and a camera arm that mounts to the bed in place of one spacer. I'm a little concerned about the bed softening the spacers and arm mount, so I'm going to tackle two issues at once by putting some cork insulation on the bottom of the heated bed. This will not only insulate the spacers but also keep them from warping under the heat. I had tried out other mounts in the past, but most of them relied on friction to hold the camera in place. I wanted something more secure, so I designed this arm and spacer system using 3mm machine screws to keep everything tight and precise. If you want to replicate my setup, you'll need to print the arm and three spacers. Here are the print settings I used: Printer: ANET A8 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 50%
