Description
I was trying out some camera bed mounts for the Anet A8 but I always found the designs to wobbly and the vibration too high while fast printing or if a heavier camera like a GoPro were used. I also wanted an easy way to disassemble for printer maintenance.
I hope my design is now meeting the requirements.
Since I am using a Microsoft LifeCam VX-700 Webcam the bracket and beam allows for an easy clamping fit for this webcam. All other adapter just need a 3,4mm thick plate, which can be clamped into the bracket or beam tightening it with the wing screw.
The setup can be a single bracket, which will support lighter cameras or a double bracket and beam setup for heavier cameras. If you need a higher point of you, you can use the extenders with 20mm, 30mm or 40mm.
Feel free to use the freeCAD model to tune the mount to your needs.
