Printrbot Plus Metal RPi Camera Bed Mount

thingiverse

Here is a brand new mount for your old Raspberry Pi camera holder, now compatible with my beloved Simple Metal PrintrBot Plus. I've tested it on my trusty Model 1504 with heated bed and it works like a charm - although, I must admit that I haven't had the chance to try it out on earlier models yet! So please do let me know if you encounter any issues! As for why the old design didn't cut it, well, the new setup allows for nearly zero clearance beneath the bed by using two interlocking parts that snap together with ease, held securely in place by an included bolt. However, there is one important caveat - this mount can only be installed on the right side of your printer's bed. Why? Because attempting to install it anywhere else would result in a nasty clash with the left-hand rail guide! You'll notice that I've opted not to mount the part directly onto the heated build platform. Instead, I've chosen to secure it to the supporting rail underneath. Don't forget to take advantage of my suggestion - print the bolt separately at 100% infill for optimal stability. Want to see how it's done?

If you happen to own the same model, you might find it beneficial to utilize this new mount with a complementary case found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:670483
