Freenove Camera Mount

thingiverse

The standard camera mount is designed specifically for cameras only, with a separate mounting point for an ultrasonic sensor. Unfortunately, this design proves to be quite wobbly and exhibits a terrible strain on 9g servos. In response, I replaced these servos with metal gear servos from Amazon at a very low cost. The original camera mount design was a good starting point, but the 9g servos I initially used didn't fit well together. To address this issue, I also enlarged the holes to allow for the use of M3 parts, which I had on hand. The base plate of the mount is designed to hold both the buzzer and LED from the kit. While the kit itself is a good starting point, its mechanical quality is quite poor, prompting me to plan for replacing the steering and front assembly next. To print the camera mount, I used PLA material from Creality at a bed temperature of 200C and an extruder temperature of 60C. Due to my possession of an E3D printer, which allows for fast printing, I took advantage of this feature by enabling support for the camera plate, including the ultrasonic board, as it features standoffs. The top clip is merely there to keep the wiring tidy from both the servos and the camera.
