Wanhao Duplicator I3 Z Axis Camera Mount

thingiverse

I'm excited to make my own Z axis camera mount because there aren't many options available on Thingiverse. I'm new to CAD software, but I quickly picked up Fusion 360 and started experimenting with it. Keep in mind that the Fusion 360 file might be full of mistakes, even though the Model itself works perfectly. At some point, I may create a more visually appealing mount, but this one gets the job done for me right now. Here's what you'll need to print: * 3 M3x12 Screws * 1 M3 nut * An attachment point for your Logitech C270 Camera (others might not need it) One thing I got wrong: if you have a front Z axis brace, the arm will collide with the threaded rod during the top 10 mms of Z travel. Both PLA and PETG should bend instead of breaking. This is a flaw in my design that I won't be fixing for now, but it shouldn't affect performance unless you use every inch of print height. This model attaches to the left side of the X axis using existing M3 screw holes. You'll need to use longer screws, and M3x12 work well for me. I'm currently using another M3x12 to attach the camera mount to the arm. Fast movements might produce some camera wobble, but this shouldn't affect timelapse. I didn't model the piece for the camera itself (orange in the pictures), as I already had one from before. This file includes the piece that will attach to the back of the camera, and I want to give a shout-out to ps915: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1159406 This was made for the Logitech C270, and all the tolerances should be correct. However, the focal point might be close for some cameras, so you might need to edit it for others. I've included the STEP and F3D files for this reason, use them as you see fit!
