I decided to merge two "things" together and make a bed handle with a camera mount for my Ender 3 printer. I liked the low-poly handle made by saamirt and the swivel camera mount from jmillerfo. I merged the two with tinkercad and printed the handle. It worked but, I didn't like the camera cable trailing with the bed. I cut off the side of the handle with the Pi camera mount and just used it as a 2020 rail mount. I have included the stl files for the bed handle with the mount as well as the standalone v slot rail version. I used a piece of filament as a pin to join the camera to the post. The pi camera tilts and swivels on the post very well. I also enlarged the hole for the camera and added a slot in the case backing to allow the cable to bend and go out the bottom.
