I have used the original version for about a month, but replaced with my own version that makes it more sturdier, shallower (about 1.2 mm) and centers the camera a bit more. I have used this adapter with the 5Q0 980 556 B camera, which might be a bit different from the original design that was used with the 5Q0 980 568 B camera. Making it shallower was necessary to prevent the camera from scratching the housing, when engaging.

To properly center the camera (even without this adapter), you need to file away some plastic next to the screw mount. There is not enough clearance between the housing and the cable from the camera, which results in the camera being pressed against one side. This puts pressure on the 3D-printed part, which will bend over time.

Print settings:

  • PETG (I prototyped using PLA and tried ASA as well, but that is too brittle for the screw mounts)
  • 100% infill

Printed this on a Bambu Lab X1C with eSUN black PETG.
