Description

In addition to the camera in the printer, I wanted a different perspective and also the option to change the position of the camera slightly.
Unfortunately, the Bambu Lab printer's housing is very reflective, so I didn't want to simply mount it in front of it.

Therefore, the camera had to be mounted directly on the glass and it had to be ensured that no light would shine in from the side - at the same time, it had to be mounted in such a way that there would be no problems during operation.

After 2-3 attempts with different magnets (the first ones were too weak), I found the right one... The housing sticks! 📷

Can also be mounted on any other printer/laser and CNC housing, also use it on several devices

Due to the high attractive force of the magnets, they have to be glued in - I simply used a drop of superglue.

Video incl. timelapse, you can find more stuff at my profile

Update (13.12.2023): I have uploaded the STEP data for those who need to adapt the shape for other magnets.

❤️ Thanks for ur support ❤️

usually make the designs for myself, I am also happy to make them available... Work doesn't have to be done twice. 🤷♂️

If you like the files and would like to support me a little, I would be thankful 🖖🤓

Works perfectly with the magnet sizes mentioned. I used a drop of super glue to keep the magnets in. They are VERY strong and the press fit was not tight enough to keep them in.

yes, that's necessary, that was clear to me, but I planned and constructed it that way. Thanks for pointing this out, my description may have been misleading. I have added it to the text.

@soerenharaldsso

ps.: You can also unscrew the camera mount, the screw can be found under the rubber seal :)

Replying to @soerenharaldsso :

thanks for the tip! One thing I wish I would have thought of before printing it is a way to angle the camera slightly downward so I can position it higher on the door and still see the whole print. If I position it too low, it is below the print bed and I can't see the first layers! but if I position it too high, I can't see the whole print when complete. Right now I try to keep it somewhat in the middle and it works well.

Great camera mount! Way quicker to load up and better resolution than the built in P1S camera

thank you. You can also unscrew the camera mount, the screw can be found under the rubber seal :)

@SneakyBeagle

Is this working/monitored directly in the Bambu Watcher? I was under the impression that you had to utilize a RTSP feed to access the video.

@lucky4meman

Replying to @SneakyBeagle :

It's used to monitor through the Tapo app, which is the external camera this mount is made for. It works very well, and is a free app to monitor the prints reliably and from a different angle than the built in camera. I also believe the resolution of the camera is 2K (way higher than the built in)

Printed very good, only the supported overhangs are not perfect. The trees were not in the corner, so the corner isn't perfect.

The designer has replied

@soerenharaldsso

I always use the Slim Supporte and have had no problems. In which corner did it cause you problems? I would like to check this and correct it.

@Robbicon

Replying to @soerenharaldsso :

Only the supported corners, but maybe it's my fault. But it's complaining on a high level and I'm still very satisfied :-)

Replying to @Robbicon :

I just checked my print, you can find a little hanging in the corner too. I hadn't looked at it before. I had several versions that always slipped off because the magnets were too small... In the end, I only paid attention to the hold xD

thanks for sharing

@user_298750213

Vielen Dank! Hat perfekt geklappt! Ich habe sicherheitshalber auf die Magnete noch einen dünnen Filzgleitet geklebt, damit das Gals keinesfalls zerkratz werden kann.

The designer has replied

@soerenharaldsso

ach super. Filz zuhause gehabt, oder hast du Artikelinformationen? wenn du bei dem Knubbel unten an der Kamera unter die Dichtung schaust, kannst du die Halterung auch abschrauben. 🖖🤓
