Description

This is a Magnetic Camera Mount.
You attach one piece to the tripod and the other to the camera and the two pieces "clip" together.

You have to put magnets inside the printed object, as well as a nut, for this to work properly.You have to pause the print, place the magnets (there are "pockets" inside the blocks) and then continue.
I used small magnets with 1mm height and 12mm diameter (that was what I had).
I put 2 magnets in every "pocket". There are 4 pockets on every piece so I used a total of 16 magnets.
The "connection" is not strong enouth to hold my camera vetically (I sould have used stronger magnets).

I also uses a bolt and a nut for the top and bottom pieces to attcj to tha camera and tripod.

You have to be careful to ensure all the magnets face the same way (polarity) so all the magnets in the bottom part will "attract" the magnets in the top part, to get maximum attraction force.
An other thing to consider is that these small magnets are really stong. My most hotends are aluminum and brass so there is no problem but you have to check if your hotend has any iron parts or you won't be able to print this.
You also have to be very careful when you "place" the magnets because they "jump" and connect with each other.

This is a WIP, I will make another version when I get some stronger magnets.
The "target" is to be able to hold my cameras verticaly.
