CR-10 Hotbed Camera Mount - Modular Mounting Compatible

thingiverse

This mount draws inspiration from Vincentvoile's CR10S hotbed mount; a fantastic design that I modified slightly for the CR-10. It's a robust, single-piece design that completely disappears when the camera is removed, leaving no room for obstruction. I also made sure it would be compatible with yyh1002's Modular Mounting System, so I added three prong mounts instead of the sliding mechanism used in Vincentvoile's original design. Depending on your slicer, you may want to increase the infill at the camera arm mounting point to 80%. PLA worked perfectly with a 0.4mm head at 0.2mm height for the main body, and 0.15mm layers for the mount prong mounts (let's call them that from now on!). A 5-hour print time was required, but your mileage may vary. To install, release the tension on the front leveling bed knobs first, then slide the right side in. Next, swing the left side in from the back and tighten the bed down again - it's really simple! I use v3 arms from the modular system to attach my camera - a GoPro Hero 5 Session for high-speed time-lapse recordings. Solidworks 2017 part and STL files are available for V2 (V1 is shown in the images). I made some minor adjustments and improvements, including reinforcing the mount, making installation easier, and saving some printing time.
