Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Updated version (version 5), has been uploaded, added a brace from the base to the gopro mount to add stiffness.
This is a GoPro compatible mount for Original Prusa i3 MK3 3D Printer.
You can watch a youtube video on my channel on the making of the mount here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI6vQh1Lm44
This mount is designed in Fusion 360 and includes a cable management solution for USB power cable people normally connect to the GoPro camera for power.
To Install, remove the removable build plate of the MK3 heat bed, remove the front-left corner screw (or front-right if you print this mirrored) and the metal spacer that is between the heatbed and y-carriage. After clening out a littlebit of drooping inside the part, ( see Post-printing )
Test fit the part on the Y-carriage, and depending on your extrution settings and filament, you might want to use sandpaper to slighly top of the part that goes underneeth the headbed, then push the metal spacer though the hole of the mount and have it flush against the top of printed part and place it in place and secure with the screw removed earlier
After mounting a GoPro or another camera to the mount, fix the powercable in the fixtures, they are a little tight and take care not to damage the cable if your cable is wider than the one I used for reference. If your cable does not fit, you can use a zip-tie to fix the cable to the hole in the bend of the arm, and another zip-tie on the left most gopro mount upright.
