Magnetic Camera Mount

I really liked my (vertical) magnetic mount for my old printer, but needed a horizontal one for my Artist-D. This should work for any printer with a flat base wider than the bed. Although this is designed to work with my Logitech C270, you should be able to mount nearly any camera to this mount.

You'll need some M3 hardware and four 8 x 3 mm magnets. (Mine measured 2.67 mm thick.) First make sure your magnets will fit, then add a little glue or superglue in each hole and carefully press two magnets into each hole.

You can use a simple M8 nut and bolt for the slide, but I used rooleyzee123's wing nut M3 ANET A8 adjustment thumbscrew with a M3 wingnut. Another option is DanielH92's Thumbscrew for Heatbed M3, which uses a brass insert.


Like my work? Post a make!

Update 6/30/2021 Created shorter versions (v2) with 5 magnet holes (3 on top, 2 on side) for base and rotated properly for printing.
