Picam Wraparound Mounting Bracket for Ender 3

thingiverse

I've been using the picam bracket from ModMike https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2886101 with my own simplified camera enclosure https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3407867 recently. Recently I changed my fan duct and installed a 20mm thick fan, which unfortunately caused issues with the mounting bracket in my new setup. The mounting bracket interfered with homing the X axis, so I had to find an alternative solution. I discovered Tai-Min's camera bracket that covers the X axis gear cover and heavily modified it to add an A frame that offsets the picam for a better angle on the print bed. The new bracket has a pair of hooks that snap into place above and below the X endstop switch, providing secure support. The bracket as a whole should snap into place with a sharp click and hold firmly in position. Mounting the picam enclosure is similar to the Modmike bracket - an M3x15mm bolt secures it in place, but this time the camera enclosure is simply bolted into the shaft - see the photo.
