Model Summary

Recently I designed and built a mount for my Beagle camera to improve the monitoring and quality of the P1S built-in camera ( See here for Beagle Cam V1 P1S mount link). I received positive feedback on that project and was encouraged to build a mount for Begle cam V2 so here it is…

Camera Mount features/details:

• No extra hardware required (other than the camera), snap-fit connections, threads and dovetails
• I used tree supports (off the build plate) on the printer mount only. NOTE: I actively removed supports from all threads - this is important. (See Fig. A below)
• I split the platform in BBL Studio using angled dovetails to make it printable and the fit and finish were excellent.
• You could easily remix this to fit your camera by the size of the ball (currently 16mm to use BeagleCam tripod metal ball joint). (happy to help you if you need to fit your device - just leave me some feedback)
• You can open/close the door without having to move the camera mount
• Considering this was printed at 0.2mm @15% with only 2 wall loops, It is incredibly strong and all up takes only 1h50m to print with 76g filament.

Fitment

Fitment was easy. after you printed the parts;

1. Slide the Printer mount onto the printer

2. Slide the platform onto the printer mount from step 1

3. Use the metal ball joint from your Beagle Camera Tripod and place it in the platform mount from step 2 and lock it in place with the nut

4. Now screw in your camera.

Once positioned, you can move the camera into your desired position and then tighten the nut to lock it into place.

Please note: I am not a professional designer or Engineer and I do this work for fun and to give back to the community. I would appreciate your feedback or even a simple like.
