Makers Select / Wanhao i3 Pi Cam Rear Z Axis Mount

thingiverse

I was impressed by the Creality Ender 3 Pi Cam Mount designed by Modmike, but I have the Maker Select v2 which demands a unique setup for the Z axis motor. To accommodate this difference, I reimagined the mounting system, expanded the arm angle while maintaining the same concept as before. This revised mount also positions the camera behind the extruder, providing an unobstructed view of the nozzle since the cooling fan won't interfere with the line of sight like other mounts might. Prototyping a test print [picture] was achieved at .24 mm layer height, but I recommend using .2 mm for better results. Additionally, supports will be necessary during printing. You can find the original design here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2886101. For optimal camera housing performance, please print the recommended camera housings according to your specific camera model. In the future, I aim to upload an updated version of this mount that eliminates the need for supports entirely. However, this will come at a slight compromise on the angle, as the arms will be positioned higher up on the mounting block.
