Wire shelf support post c920 camera mount

This mount enables you to flexibly attach a Logitech c920 camera to a 1" wire shelf support post. It uses a ball and socket design to allow flexibly positioning the camera. I've uploaded 3 files: the post support socket, a “link”, and a mounting plate for a Logitech c920. The mounting plate replaces the original bulky camera mount. I used these directions to disassemble the original camera mount, and replace it with my own. In my application, I ended up not using any extra links, just directly connecting the camera to the support post, but I've included the link anyways in case you want it. I found the ball and socket joints to be pretty sensitive to the orientation of the layer lines. I designed the support post so it can be printed with support on the bed only, but it may be better to print it so the socket joint is horizontal anyways.The ball and socket mounts are pretty general, and I'll probably make more parts around it in the future. If you want to do the same, the ball is designed to be ¾" in diameter, and the socket is designed to be 1% smaller. Also pictured is my spool holder mounting to a shelf support post in a similar way.
