Printrbot Simple Metal Print Bed GoPro Corner Mounts

Printrbot Simple Metal Print Bed GoPro Corner Mounts! Two mounts designed specifically for choosing between two different viewing angles on your Printrbot Simple Metal and GoPro camera, or other creations that use GoPro style mount connections. One GoPro mount is made to seat your camera at a 45-degree angle. A second mount is also available, seating the camera at a 30-degree angle. Both mounts work in the same way but one may be better suited for your Printrbot depending on its print bed size. The stock beds are square, making a 45-degree mount adequate. However, larger upgrade kit beds are rectangular and benefit from a 30-degree mount to capture the entire print bed without cutting off the ends. These mounts were created to modify my Octopi Rig design's Logitech c170 GoPro camera mount for my Printrbot Simple Metal print bed. Having the camera attached to the print bed provides a much more stable view of the printing process for generating time lapse recordings. My previous setup, with the camera in front of the printer, had a clear view but an unstable video time lapse due to the movement of the print bed. This new approach gives a clearer and more focused view of the print being generated while completely unaffected by the movement of the print bed. These models will also be posted on my "Printrbot Simple Metal OctoPi Rig" Thing listing, where I've included newly changed case designs for the PI to make a more practical version of my OctoPi Rig work better with my Printrbot Simple Metal! Happy printing and enjoy!
