Blink camera articulated extension arm

This is an articulated extension arm designed to use with the Blink cameras. It allows extra movement to get the camera into whatever position you required. This one is a little over 70mm long, but check my other models for a stubby version if required.

I've tested it with a number of cameras in the range including a Blink Mini, Blink Mini 2 and also the Blink XT/XT2. It's compatible with the existing ball & socket mount, although I did find a degree of tolerance across my cameras meaning that some had more friction than others - I'm not sure why as the original ball measures the same on each one when measured with calipers, but presume it's just manufacturing tolerances. I've included a model with a slightly larger ball (0.1mm larger) on the 2nd build plate which you can try if you do find yours to be loose, or you could also possibly try scaling the model up slightly in bambu studio. If it's a major problem, please be kind with your ratings and provide constructive feedback and I'll be happy to make further changes and upload to try and help.

I've printed this one in white so you can see the part clearly, but it's best to print in white or black to suit your camera model of course.

Due to the tall size and minimal surface contact with the bed I'd recommend printing with a brim if using standard or textured build plates, but can be printed fine without if you have the supertack plate. No support required.

 

I upload my models to Makerworld so the rest of the 3d printing community can download, print and enjoy them for free. I respectfully ask you not upload, distribute or sell my designs or 3d printed models from my designs on any platform or marketplace (this is against the license terms). Please feel free to like, share or link to this model. Thank you.
