A fixed arm for that replaces the Left Z-Axis Top (MK3) and integrates nicely with Sneak's Articulating Mounting System

I love Sneaks' Articulating Raspberry Pi Camera Mount for Prusa MK3 and MK2, but the ideal position I was looking for required me to mount on the Z-Axis far enough away that the connectors were wobbly. This resulted in extremely blurry snapshots.
I designed this static arm to integrate with Sneak's camera mounting system as I love the ball-connector. The arm replaces one of the Z-Toppers. I tested the angle that this arm offers and was extremely happy, but your experience may vary. Print more connectors to drop the camera lower or extend the arm further!
You can mirror the print in PrusaSlicer to make it use the right Z-Topper.
The possibilities are endless with this sturdy base!
Print Instructions
IMPORTANT: The arm is too big to fit on the standard MK3 bed without decreasing the skirt distance! Navigate to “Print Settings → Skirt and Brim → Distance from Brim/Object → 1 mm” to fix this.
Layer Height: 0.2 mm
Filament: I recommend PETG for the added strength / flexibility
Infill: 25%
Supports: None
