Logitech C270 X-Axis Camera Mount for Bear X-Axis and Frame Upgrade

prusaprinters

<p>This is an adaptation of the <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/31646">Logitech C270 X-Axis Camera Mount</a> that allows it to be used on a Bear Frame Upgrade and X-Axis.</p> <p><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> <em>This mount uses the screw holes on the right side of the Bear x-axis that are intended for adjustments to the x-axis smooth rod lengths. These adjustments have not been necessary on either of my Bear builds, so re-purposing the screw holes for the mount was not a problem. If your build requires the use of these adjustment screws, it will likely require finicky work with washers/spacers or longer screws and springs to get the mount installed and still get the correct adjustment on the smooth rod(s).</em></p> <h4>Printing</h4> <p>Use the supplied .gcode file, or slice and print the following:</p> <ul> <li>c270_arm-bear.3mf</li> <li>c270_clip_holder-bear.3mf</li> </ul> <p>These two parts replace the similarly named parts in the original mount. All other parts from the original mount can be printed as-is.</p> <p>Note that there is also an <em>extended</em> version of the arm piece (3mf only, not in the gcode) that is 50mm longer than the original part. This is a requested modification that I have not printed or tested personally, and should be considered experimental.</p> <h4>Assembly</h4> <p>The assembly instructions remain the same as the original mount, with the exception of the following:</p> <p><strong>Step 14:</strong> Attach the assembled mount to the X-Axis using two M3x8 or M3x10 screws. Ensure that the screws do not bottom out against the ends of the x-axis smooth rods!</p> <p><strong>Step 15:</strong> Attach the chain clip to the horizontal V-Slot below the mount using 2 <a href="https://openbuildspartstore.com/drop-in-tee-nuts/">drop-in tee nuts</a> and 2 <a href="https://openbuildspartstore.com/low-profile-screws-m5-10-pack/">M5x8 screws</a>.</p> <h4>Source</h4> <p>The Fusion 360 source files are included in the file section for anyone who wants to make improvements or adjustments.</p> <h4>Credits</h4> <ul> <li><p>The original X-Axis mount was designed by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/sennah91/about"><em>sennah91</em></a> and is available at <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2388629">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2388629</a>.</p> </li> <li><p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/pekcitron/about"><em>Grégoire Saunier's</em></a> Bear X-Axis Fusion 360 source was used to help build these components. It is available from <a href="https://github.com/gregsaun/bear_extruder_and_x_axis/tree/master">https://github.com/gregsaun/bear_extruder_and_x_axis/tree/master</a>.</p> </li> </ul> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>The Gcode file is sliced for Prusament PETG on an MK3/S using the 0.20mm QUALITY MK3 setting and 20% infill. I did not enable support material, as I have had no difficulty printing either of these pieces without any support material.</p> <p>3mf files have been provided for both components for those who want to do the slicing themselves.</p>
