C270 Bed Mount for Ender 3 Lack Enclosure

thingiverse

I created this mount because I became frustrated in my search for a C270 bed mount for my Ender 3 that would work inside of a lack table enclosure, as none were available to meet my needs. Initially, I tried using versions that mounted directly to the lack enclosure but the video was terrible due to the pictures not being taken at a specific bed location, causing the bed to be in a different position every frame and making the timelapse impossible to watch. Then, I attempted some that mounted to the extruder arm like the one I remixed from but it had the same issue with the bed moving all over during the timelapse. Finally, I decided on a bed-mounted approach as I had no interest in using the octolapse plugin for octoprint, leading to this creation. While this mount isn't perfect, it does a good job of showing the print bed without hitting against the enclosure's glass or focusing on only a small piece of the bed. To install, remove the bed height adjustment wheels from all four corners of your print bed, being careful not to lose your springs. Next, slide the camera mount onto one corner of your bed and align the holes on the mount with the hole used by the bed screw. The mount is designed to fit around the spring, so don't remove the spring. Then, run the bed screw back through the holes so that they pass through the camera mount and print base plate. Finally, screw the adjustment wheels back down far enough so your printer nozzle won't damage your print bed like it did mine. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement! Edit: I had to modify my CURA settings to prevent the bed from shifting all of the way forward as it would barely bump the camera and make the timelapse post-roll blurry. I simply reduced the bed shift by 20 mm from its normal forward position.
