Camera Mount for Original Prusa i3 MK3

prusaprinters

<p>I designed this based in other similar mounts, because i wanted it to be in the left side of the printer so it needed redesigning to not crash with the tool head. I also separated the coupling from the shoe so other kinds of shoe can be made.</p><p>UPDATE:</p><ul><li>Adjusted coupling length&amp;height and added optional flexible padding for better stability.</li><li>Adjusted foot to fit better.</li></ul><p>UPDATE 2:</p><ul><li>Changed coupling to better fit the bed.</li></ul><p>If the camera has a hinge (like the Logitech C920), i recommend keeping it closed so the vibrations are not accentuated. Even if it vibrates the effect will mostly fade away when the video is accelerated to create a timelapse.</p><h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Padding is optional but recommended to reduce vibrations when printing (not tested).</p><p>Suggested material:</p><ul><li>ABS or some other material that can resist maximum bed temperature (about 100C) for the coupling.</li><li>Recreus FilaFlex (shore 82A) for the padding</li><li>Anything else for the other parts.</li></ul><p>Suggested print settings:</p><ul><li>0.2mm layer height</li><li>0.8mm wall thickness</li><li>0.8mm top/bottom thickness</li><li>20% cubic infill</li><li>with supports (and check image for preferred upside orientation of the models)</li></ul><p>I used ColorFabb XT-CF20 for my test (see photo), and it looks incredible, but its Glass Transition Temperature is only 85C so if you print with a hotter bed it will go soft and probably deform the coupling. ABS has a GTT of 105C which will work for any bed temperature supported by the printer, but it is hard to print without an enclosure.</p><h3>Post-Printing</h3><p>Hardware needed:</p><ul><li>1/4"*7mm tripod screw with maximum head diameter of 16mm to connect foot with camera.</li><li>Two M3*6mm screws + nuts to connect shoe with coupling and shoe with lever.</li></ul>
