Eachine TX04 Camera Holder for Eachine E010 Frame A camera holder designed for the Eachine TX04 FPV camera to be mounted between the ducts of the Eachine E010 quadcopter frame. The angle at which the camera is mounted can be adjusted freely, with a 5° mount used in these pictures. This holder is meant to be printed on an FDM printer using PLA filament and weighs only 0.2 grams. Its purpose is to protect the camera while keeping it centered on the frame, allowing for different camera angles. The Eachine TX04 camera is ideal for this application due to its separable boards and small camera module. Note that a small part of the frame ducts may be visible in the picture, but it's only a minor portion. Important: This print requires advanced skills in printing, soldering, cutting, gluing, and handling small parts. It can be challenging, especially with stringing issues on some printers. Key Challenges: * Requires fine motor skills for soldering and assembly * Camera modules are fragile and easily damaged * Soldering wires is intricate due to the small size of components * Transmitter board must be attached between battery holder and controller board * Mounting everything in reverse can be tricky What to Do: 1. Print the holder, a 9-minute job in fine print quality. 2. Clean up stringing issues, focusing on parts that grip the frame. 3. Attach the holder to the camera lens by bending it open and snapping it over the neck of the lens. 4. Adjust the lens clips to fit under the widest part of the lens if necessary. 5. Attach the holder to the frame, ensuring a tight fit without bending the frame bar excessively. 6. Separate the camera boards using flush cutters or desolder pins carefully. 7. Cut off the upper lip extending from the camera board and solder a 3-wire cable between the boards. 8. Attach the camera to the frame as shown, gluing the transmitter board in place with double-sided tape or hot glue (with caution). 9. Reattach motors and controller board backwards, using anti-vibration rubber stand-offs if desired. Disclaimer: If you damage your copter, camera, fingers, or other components while following these instructions, you are on your own for repair and recovery.
