This is a simple camera mount for attaching a Web camera or similar to your Prusa XL. It uses magnets to attach to the printer so that it can be repositioned to get the best coverage of your print.
The holes for the magnets are 12mm x 4mm deep. This is meant to allow some flexibility and room for hot glue. I used 10mm magnets and just used a hot glue gun to hold them in, the extra space was filled with glue to make sure they stayed put.
These are the magnets I used: https://amzn.to/3Ucp0oo (affiliate link).
The standard thread for a camera attachment is Imperial (Inches) 1/4-20 bolt. This should just push right thru from the bottom and can be locked in with a nut on top. I used (2) nuts. One to lock the bolt in, and one that can be tightened up against the camera as a stop to keep it from rotating.
Enjoy and hope to see your makes!
