Generic WebCam Mount for Ender 3, 3 pro, ect.

This is a Model allows for the Webcam to be attached by use of a 1/4" x 3/4" Stainless Steel Hex Bolt. Rather than disassembling the Webcams to attach it to the mount. It attaches using a friction clip attaching to the Z roller Motor mounting bracket on the Ender 3 series of printers.

Due to the varying thicknesses of the metal bracket it attaches to it my need to be pressed on a bit but the PLA is flexible enough to do this with out cracking. At least on my 2 printers. The gap is set to 2.8 mm, and fits my 2.87 mm & 2.93 mm brackets.

All 3 mounts place the camera low enough to see the nozzle clearly. All are designed to allow you to attach any generic webcam with the camera mount to the are without disassembling the camera. The only additional hardware needed is a single 1/4" x 3/4" Stainless Steel Hex Bolt. I don't like trying to use a 3D printed screw for a 1/4" thread as they tend to strip or break off too easily. The bolt is easy to find and works very well in all the cameras I have found so far.

Modeled entirely in Autodesk Tinkercad. This is my first 3D Model using parts entirely designed by me, if that is not apparent. Although is is based on one of my earlier Remixes of another model for a different printer.

The mount will attach to the Ender 2 Pro as well, but the Display gets in the way and has to be detached. I'll need to do another redesign to address this.

Printed in PLA

.02mm Layer Height

15% infill, is sufficient and as the ender only has the single Z motor I thought a lighter model was called for.
