Ender 3/Extrusion Camera Mount

<h1><b>Ender 3 / 2020&4040 Extrusion Ball Joint Camera Mount</b></h1> <p>This is a mount for the Ender 3/Pro/V2 or any printer with 20x20 or 40x40 V-slot extrusions. There are 2 mount files, one for the 20x20 extrusion on the sides/top of a printer, and one for the 40x40/base extrusions on a printer. These have ball joints with a 13/16mm diameter, which can be printed to allow positioning a camera. I have made a frame that generic Go-Pro style action cameras can slot into with a ball on the end to slot in to the joints. If the ball joints are too loose, wrap them in electrical tape or something similar to make a better grip, or scale up the ball segment by a few percent. </p> <h1>Uses:</h1> <p>I use this to mount a Victure Action Camera to my printer, so I can stream/watch my print from somewhere else. The camera has wifi transmission and USB, so I can send it to OBS then stream it to a private Youtube channel or record the print.</p> <h1>Print Times:</h1> <p>On the Ender 3 V2 with 50mm/s standard speeds, and 5mm/s for the first layer (because of bad adhesion) the individual joint pieces take 20 minutes each, and the gopro frame takes 2 hours. The extrusion mounts take around 30 minutes each with brims and supports.</p> <h1>Misc.</h1> <p>I designed this in a few hours, as a way to stream my prints to my PC, partly as a novelty, but also because I know some people would need this setup if they aren't running OctoPi or a similar setup with camera integration. Any suggestions are appreciated for changes to this design. I wanted it to print quickly, and use little filament, so it is pretty small. This has gone through many generations, but is still being improved, as I find issues with the way it prints. Thanks to wonderbot for the ball joint design
