Summary

Couldn't quite find the camera mount I wanted for my Ender 5, so I took an afternoon to design my own. Files are all in the correct orientation to maximize strength at the joints. The base of the unit clamps on with 4 M3x12mm screws with press in place M3 nuts on the underside. I probably could have gotten away with just two screws. The joints are secured by M3x19mm screws with press in place nuts. The angle is adjustable just like a gopro mount. I have included a 69 mm and 109 mm arm, if any other lengths would be useful, let me know. Prints well without supports in PLA.

I have added an extension arm with three prongs on one side and two on the other. this should allow for chaining together multiple arms.

I have also made a slight improvement to the camera holder design which makes it easier to feed the camera ribbon cable through. Thanks to SkydiverFL (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4693854) for the idea. Their design is slightly different still so if you are having issues with your printer and the camera holder V2 design, check out theirs.

Update: it has come to my attention that I have been a big dumb dummy and have unnecessarily been attaching this thing to the frame in a way that interacts with the print head fan assembly when it could have just been turned the whole time without design changes. I previously showed a warning that the print head would hit the clamp, but if attached to the printer frame as shown in the cover image, this will not occur.

To get the most recent versions of the thing files you will need to download them individually from the things tab, rather than using the download all button. Thingiverse is broken for some reason. The arm files have not changed, but the clamp and camera holder files have V2s.

Additional Parts needed:
