Yet Another Ender 3 Cam Arm

thingiverse

There are numerous high-end, yet overly intricate camera mounts available for the Ender 3 or other printers constructed from precision-cut aluminium extrusions. I opted for this approach when I became thoroughly dissatisfied with all hinged arm designs that failed to meet my expectations. I sought a simpler solution. This design features two interconnected tubes secured together by a set screw, allowing for effortless height adjustment. The inner tube can also be easily swiveled while the camera itself can tilt upward and downward. The entire assembly is remarkably sturdy and can be mounted anywhere there is 20mm aluminium extrusion available. I have included various tube lengths to accommodate different needs and preferences. The accompanying picture showcases a shorter version of both configurations. The camera housing was generously borrowed from Douglas_K, a talented designer who has graciously shared their creation with the community on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3728526
