Nozzle Cam

prusaprinters

<p>Tired of not being able to see first print layer, I changed my ender 3 head to a thin blokhead version. But it was not easy enough. So inspired by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4859502">this design</a> and the way it use the pi-cam, I made an small arm that can be attached to <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4777217">this blokhead version</a>. So It's easier to see the first layer.</p> <p>It needs:</p> <ul> <li>2 M1.7x8mm screws for attaching pi camera.</li> <li>and 2 M3x5 for the articulation</li> <li>and finally one M3x30 for attaching to the blokhead (It reuse the one holding the blower).</li> </ul> <p>I used a rubber band to clip the camera cable behind the blower and keep it out of the way for the hotend fan.</p> <p>I used <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4241350/files">this clip</a> to attach the camera cable to the top of the ender 3 frame.</p> <p>I have reused a pi cam v1.3 for this. It work well enough. Focus is till a bit blurry, and fps are not that great with that version. It is still better that my eyes..</p> <p>Now what I am missing is nozzle light...</p> <p>Notes:</p> <ul> <li>I moved to .amf file instead of .stl and a such there is no preview on thingiverse.</li> </ul> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ender 3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.28</p> <h3>Post-Printing</h3> </p></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
