Non-Warping/Melting Camera Mount

thingiverse

Frustrated with my own remix, I sought a mount that wouldn't deform due to close proximity to the heated bed, so I came up with this design from scratch in Fusion360, drawing inspiration from one-2_three's design but creating something entirely new. A kind redditor informed me that the type of radial joint used in this design is called a "Hirth joint". You'll need the following non-printed supplies: 1. 2 painter stir sticks (free at most home hardware stores) 2. 1 M5 x 12mm bolt (flat head - hex drive) 3. 1 M5 nut (for said bolt) 4. 2 M5 x 20mm bolts (hex head) 5. 2 M5 washers 6. 2 M5 wingnuts 7. 1 long bolt - to secure the camera to the mount (possibly M3?... I used a spare random bolt I found in a junk drawer) 8. 3 (or 4) medium binder clips - 2 for the painter-stick to the vertical support, and the other two to clamp the stick to the Y-axis plate under the heated buildplate. Printing: All parts are designed to be printed with minimal or no supports. Print in the following orientation for best results: * The camera mount upside-down * The vertical arm upright * The Swivel upright - with a support for the overhang (e.g. supports "touching buildplate"). Changes: (July 23, 2019) Added chamfer to Camera Mount retaining clip hole so it prints without supports. (July 22, 2019) Renamed original mount to "Logitech C270 Mount" Added new generic 1/4 standard camera body mount - suitable for Logitech C920 - extra hardware... a 1/4" male screw knob (That's what she said) about 1/2" long (sorry for the imperial units, that's what camera mount holes are here.) Cleaned up obsolete/old versions (July 15, 2019) Updated Swivel and Camera mounts to 2mm splines. The original (1mm) was too fine for my poor Ender3 to manage... and 2mm accomplishes the exact same thing.
