Blink Camera Mount for Print Monitoring
Blink Camera Mount for Print Monitoring
Print Profile(0)
Description
I had an old blink camera that I wasn't using for much and decided it would work well as a monitoring camera for checking in on long prints while I'm not at home. There are a few mounts out there but I didn't want to have to screw it in for whatever reason. This one just uses a little hook mount to hook into the base of the mini's frame.
There's a straight-on version and an angled version, i think the angled one is my favorite as you can put it all the way at the end of the frame and it still gets a good picture.
Would likely also work for any printer that has the same frame.
I got the idea to use the hook from the holder from the mini spool holder design here: https://www.printables.com/model/179551-prusa-mini-spool-holder
I got the actual mini camera mount from this jperez's STL, found here... thank you!! :https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2851232
Print Settings
Printer:
OG Prusa Mini
Rafts:
No
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
.2
Infill:
20-25% gyroid, 100% any other
Filament:
Sunlu PLA MatteGrey
Notes:
Can mess with the angle to your liking for printing and how you want supports... most important part to print correctly is the point that connects to the printer frame - should definitely use gyroid infill if you're not doing 100% infill as any other will likely leave weak spots in that area.

I imported the STL from jperez into thingiverse and created the hook and whatnot for the attachment to the printer.
