Ender 3 Handle with Camera Mount

thingiverse

UPDATE 3: Final update...the threads are definitely obstructing the view as currently designed. If you choose to use this, **YOU WILL** need to modify to eliminate this obstruction or avoid using the front inch or so of the bed. I ended up cutting that part off and designing a new camera mount that attaches to the corner of the bed. UPDATE 2: Discovered today that just the threads alone can block the hotend if the bed is close to or all the way to the back. If anything was attached to the threads, it would be even worse. So I recommend exercising caution if you decide to use this. It might make sense to remix it in a way that moves the threaded part away from the bed. UPDATE: I'm going to leave this thing up, in case it's useful to others, but I'm probably not going to use it for my webcam, as my Logitech C310 has too narrow a field of view to capture the whole build area when mounted on this. Might work for a camera with a wider angle lens. Be aware that if you want the handle to be stiffer, you may need to print with higher infill. With 25% infill, mine is quite flexible, and with the weight of the camera on it, the camera bounces around when the bed moves abruptly. I like the result, and I may add a screw-on Pi camera mount, since that would at least be less likely to bounce around, but it's not great for a heavier camera.
