A1-A1 Mini Ring Camera Mounts

Added New Angled Design to Version 3!!

 

In Version 3, I modified the threaded version of this mount to angle the camera downwards. This new iteration does require more supports but they should snap off pretty easily if you take your time. Be extra careful when pulling supports off of the threads. As before, I would suggest printing in PETG. I would also recommend spraying some PTFE/teflon spray or other light oil or lubricant on the threads to make them smoother. 

 

In Version 2, I redesigned the socket to use a threaded nut and base. There should be no risk of damage when installing the mount as you need only screw the retaining ring on a few threads then insert the camera and tighten the nut and position the camera as needed. Only downside to the updated version is that you aren't able to angle the camera downwards as far as you can in version 1.

 

This mount has been adapted to fit the Ring Indoor Camera. You will have to take the base off of the camera so that only the ball is attached. It isn't difficult but will take some patience since the base plate is pretty firmly attached, just a few screws and a little careful prying and you'll have it off.

 

This is a remix of the Blink Camera mount by panto.

 

All models have an added brace to give the mount some additional ridigity so it doesn't bounce as much while the printer is moving. Additionally, I added fuzzy skin to the socket and tab that attaches the mount to the printer for better grip.

 

You will notice two models on the build plate of version 1 when you open the file. The one at the front is the standard mount with the added fuzzy skin, increased rigidity, modified socket, and adjusted positioning for a better bed view.

 

The second model closest to the back of the plate has a modified socket so the camera can tilt a little further forward to get a full view of the build plate.

 

I would highly recommend printing this in PETG for the small amount of flexibility it provides to the socket arms. I tried printing this in PLA but the little arms that hold the ball kept snapping since PLA isn't quite as flexible as PETG.

 

The included print profiles have everything set up including a little support under the mounting tab that should easily snap off after printing.

 

Happy printing!
