Digital Camera fast-clamp mount for k8200/3drag

thingiverse

My trusty Canon PowerShot SX120 can be fully controlled via a USB connection using the versatile PtpCamGui application located at http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/PtpCamGui. To capture stunning macro photos, I utilize my 3Drag frame as a camera tripod, seamlessly integrated with Repetier for effortless control. You'll notice that the camera frame mounting system I've designed utilizes modules from the fast-clamp library, found on Thingiverse at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:936871. This innovative design makes it easy to customize and use, eliminating the need for specialized tools or attachments. Whether you prefer the orientable ballhead or the fixed position, this setup provides optimal stability and versatility. Here's a tip that works for me when I'm not using my extruder: simply replace it with a dB9 male plug featuring a 100K resistor connected to pins 2-4. This clever trick convinces the firmware into thinking the thermistor is present, which proves quite useful in various scenarios.
