Summary
The C270 camera mount is attached to the camera using it's own hinge pin. The dual diameter bolt fits through the sliding mount. To remove the original weighted Logitech mount from the camera, use a thin knife to remove the covers over the ends of the hinge pin. You should then be able to use a screwdriver to remove the pin. You may need to push the pin out with a thin screwdriver or similar tool. The printed camera mount will be loose on the hinge. Use a small (M3?) metal washer at one end of the hinge pin, and a very small rubber washer at the other end of the hinge pin.
You should print the bed mount with either ABS or PETG since it is touching the build plate. PLA will not work for this part, PLA will work for the rest of the parts though.
Notes for the Solid end bed mount
The solid end bed mount is made to fit both the bed frame and heat plate spacer snuggly. The part may need to be scaled by whatever amount is necessary given your specific filament and/or annealing process. Placing the bed spacer in the part while it is hot may be easier than waiting till after it cools and shrinks. You shouldn't need to apply more than a small amount of force to assemble it. If you find you need to apply more force, either scale the part and reprint or use a file or sandpaper to make some additional clearance.
