Top-view camera mount for P1S (Dingling N1 camera)
Print Profile(2)


Description
This mount is designed to attach the Dingling N1 camera to the handle on the top glass panel of the P1S, enabling the Dingling N1 camera to capture the printing progress from a bottom-up perspective.
I noticed that most camera mounts are positioned to capture the print from the front, but this can sometimes obscure rear prints. Personally, I find a top-down view more efficient. This mount provides that perspective, though the field of view limits the captured area of the print bed. However, adjusting the mount's angle can alter the field of view.
The print configuration includes angles from 13 to 17 degrees. A 13-degree angle positions the camera closer to the door, while a 17-degree angle places it closer to the machine's interior. Larger angles were avoided due to increased reflection as the camera's distance from the glass increases; 13 degrees offers less reflection compared to 17 degrees.
The print uses approximately 16 grams of filament. Experimenting with various angles to find your preference is recommended. The image depicts a 17-degree configuration. The mount comprises two parts, secured to the semicircular handle on the top glass panel using a small horizontal bar and two M2x6 or M2x8 screws. If there's sufficient interest, I can create a version with a retaining clip.
