Ultimaker Camera mount

I needed to install the camera in a corner of the printer, but after experimenting with various placements, I realized there wasn't enough room available. Although I still included the design files for anyone who might find a way to make it work, hooking the mount around the front panel and securing it at the top seemed like the best option. Building on an existing ball joint design found online, I created my own improved version: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/parametric-ball-joint. To achieve optimal image quality, I discovered that enclosing the camera was essential; otherwise, it appeared as if you were looking directly into the lens mount without a case. Therefore, I designed a camera case holder (UM_camera_case) to enclose the entire camera module. The design is parametrically created using OpenSCAD software. Update: To ensure flexibility, I added extra space around the joint. Update2: I fine-tuned the retraction settings to enable easier support removal.
