Description

See the original model by Voxel3D_Nederland for an explanation of the design. Since they did not include the CAD file and I wanted to be able to tune the angle, I recreated the design in FreeCAD. If you want to change it, open in FreeCAD 1.1 (dev at the time of this posting), and click on the VarSet. 

Update - I worked on the parametric aspect and was able improve it. The V6 FCStd file will automagically adjust the geometry when you change the angle. It will work with angles from 20 to 50 degrees, which should cover most applications. BUT (there is always a “but”), the way FreeCAD (and Fusion 360) works, you cannot just type in the angle you want. It solves the geometry based on the starting point, so if you change the angle too much at one time it will get confused. Change the angle 5 degrees at a time at the most. There were some times where it would still get confused and I had to change the angle by 2 degrees at a time to keep it from loosing track of edges.

I also parameterized the distance between the pegs because one of my cameras from Aliexpress matches the correct dimensions from Waveshare (49.8 mm) but the other one is only 49.0 mm.

I then modified the design to extend out to hold the cable with a zip tie. Feeding the cable through the AngryCam support made the connector somewhat unreliable, and securing the cable avoids it wiggling.

I included a 3mf file showing how I printed it. The slot where the cable comes through requires support, which is a little difficult to remove completely. But I like the simplicity of the design, so there it is.

Update - I had to adjust the angle for my Trident 250, and made the design compatible with hammerhead inserts, so I have added a step file and updated the FreeCAD file to Mod 3.
