Description:

[MAY UPDATE]

I have released an updated version that should be much easier to install and uses less material (about 80 grams down to about 55 grams). The camera is also positioned lower so you can see more of the build plate. The new attachment pegs on the mount should fit the Tapo base more snugly/securely than previous versions. The older versions are still available for those who prefer them for some reason: The newest version is listed first, then all 3mfs and then model files ordered from most recent first to oldest last.

[PREVIOUS]

I previously designed and printed a filament spool bracket for my Ender-3 V3 XZ that holds the spool parallel with the y-axis. Now I have a camera, the TapoC211, that I wish to mount on my printer for remote viewing. I couldn't find one for my situation, so I designed one that is compatible with my current custom spool bracket (available on my account profile). You can get away with using this stand without additional hardware/screws but it won't be as stable.

Print Settings:

[MAY UPDATE]

I have uploaded the profile I used for my Ender3V3. I used MIKA3D Silk PLA for my latest make, so make sure you switch the filament for one you have. Use more wall loops and more top/bottom shells if using a weaker filament (ie silk pla, generic pla, etc) for strength compensation.

[PREVIOUS]

For strength, print the part on its side like shown:

I used thicker layer heights to reduce print time, but smaller heights will be stronger.

My make was printed in Comgrow Clear PETG

0.5mm layer height (0.8mm nozzle); 0.3mm recommended

3 wall loops

4 top/bottom shells

Infill: 30% Adaptive Cubic

Tree supports (on build plate only)

Support threshold angle: 30 degrees

Installation Instructions:

You will need x2 M3 screws and possibly x2 M3 washers (depends on the diameter of your screw heads) that will go into the front of the gantry. You will need the camera and the wall-mounting base that is included with your camera.

Line up the holes in the print with the M3 holes in the printer gantry then insert the M3 screws.

Attach the camera's wall-mounting base to the top of the print where the pegs are.

Attach the camera to the base.

Done.
