This is a remix from the adapter that sits on around the motor for the X axis.
I adapted this to support the flexi-arm camera adapter and the Picam IR Flexi Mount so that I can mount the Raspberry Pi Camera on the X Axis engine.
The goal is to take advantage the Z axis height, which is where the X Axis motor sits on. This will allow the camera to keep up with the current Z height making the view of the print much clearer.
- You can print this without supports, but bear in mind that the upper frame part will be printed as bridge, so it may topple a bit - it should not interfere with the design.
- If you want to print with supports, you should use the support paint tool and allow supports to be printed on the model with 0.2mm Z clearance.
- You can either use a nylon fastener to tighten the frame onto the motor.
- …Or you can print the included fastener. It should fit both sockets, fastening the frame onto the motor.
Files included
- I included the *.skp file (SketchUp project) in case you want to tweak this.
- I included all the STLs required to print this, but you should visit the makers from the other original parts, as they may have updated them with improvements.
- If you want, you can separately download the different parts from the other makers, namely:
- Links and adapters from flexi-arm camera adapter
- Raspberry Pi Camera parts from Picam IR Flexi Mount
