Model origin

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I was looking for a way to mount a Buddy 3D Camera to the lower extrusion of a MK3/MK4 printer when I found SuperTed's camera mount.

It was too high for the buddy, so I lowered the height and removed the angled section.

This version allows you to attach the camera mounting base to the arm using angled head screws.  I used 3mm screws since everything else on a MK4 is pretty much 3mm fasteners and I could use the same wrenches.  One screw threads into the bracket and the other will need a set of washers and a nut to tighten them down.

I also printed a TPU spacer to help cut down on the vibrations, but it may not be necessary.

 

NOTE:  I'm not sure that the screw holes ended up getting exported with the model (I made all the changes using the PrusaSlicer program and it tells me it won't export the holes).  If so, you will need to add two negative cylinders (1 at 3 mm and 1 at 4 mm) for the screws and they need to be 28.7mm apart on the top of the bracket.  Sorry for the inconvenience but I do not own the original model to make the changes for the fasteners.
