This is a modular mount and holder for an ESP32Cam for an Ender 3. The box is designed to fit an ESP32Cam, connected to an USB to DIP connector (for powering the ESP32Cam) that is sitting on the lid. The mount itself is clipped to the front cover of the x-axis motor (where the endstop is sitting). The mount can be fixed with an M3 screw, but for me that was not necessary, because it's a tight snap.

Attached to the mount is the arm that can be rotated horizontally and is screwed to the mount with an M3 screw and nut. There are inlays for holding the hex nuts at the bottom side of the connections. On the other end the arm is connected to an l-bracket, to which the box holding the camera is attached. Both connections are screwed together with M3 screws and nuts.

Theoretically you can use multiple arms (and l-brackets) to extend this. It would also be very easy to design mounts for other printers to use with this. 

You can print this without supports for the most part, but you have to turn the parts to the correct side for this (arm and l-bracket on the side, box at the front, mount and lid at the back). Just the connector on the box needs support.

PS: Please ignore the bad print quality. I took the pictures with my drafts and there my focus was more an fast printing than quality.

Update 22.5.2024: I added an L-bracket and a box that can be mounted above the arm instead of below. I had the “issue” that the camera was below the bed for the first few layers. Mounting the camera above fixes this.
