Gaunt Arm

Note: ===== This design requires that you remove the barcode sticker from your x-axis motor cover on your *Creality Ender 3*. Furthermore, you'll need four M3x45mm screws. (Hex socket head bolts would work just fine but might be harder to find). This design also requires that you're using a raspberry pi camera v2.1. Please also note that the raspberry pi camera casing has been designed with ribbon cable running along the length of the arm. This is for better cable management and neater look. If you need, you could always use cable ties or tape to keep the ribbon cable clear from the heat bed. If you would like to contribute to this design, please leave a comment below for any recommendations. Bill of Materials ============ For bolts and screws, feel free to use whatever you have available. Below is what was used for this design. Shrinkage has been accounted for so you may find that some parts need to be screwed in. In any case, use nuts for safety.
