Autodarts Target Corona Vision Light

Update 4.0:

https://makerworld.com/en/models/2633957-autodarts-target-corona-vision-light-v2#profileId-2909059

A new variant is available. I have responded to requests regarding the supports that were difficult to remove for some. The new version is now wider and adapted to the head's size. The arm now lies completely on the print bed during printing. This requires fewer support structures, and they are easier to remove

Update 3.0:

Version 3.0: Changed print settings. Smoothing of the support structure has been added to achieve a cleaner result after removing the supports

UPDATE 2.0:

There is a minor change in the design. The camera mounting points have been slightly altered to ensure that if the camera needs to be rotated for correct alignment, it lies flat on the mounting points and is not obstructed by its components. Both the single arm and the complete print plate have been updated

Hello and thank you for your interest

After assembling several Autodarts systems for the Target Corona Vision Light for personal use and for friends, I thought this process should be easier and less frustrating

I wanted a system that, unlike others, consists of as few parts as possible while still allowing for a firm attachment to the light ring, rather than simply being clipped on. This provides the greatest possible stability

Based on my own ideas, existing designs from fleury44, and experience gained particularly with heat-set inserts, I designed something new to eliminate assembly frustration, reduce the number of parts to a minimum, and intentionally avoid heat-set inserts. These tend not to always hold their position when melted, resulting in screws not being perfectly aligned with the holes, making assembly a struggle

The result is a camera arm with an integrated head. A holder is also already incorporated into the design. Thus, there is only the camera arm with integrated head and holder, the lid, and a separate holder. Where necessary, the holes already have integrated threads. The camera lens is surrounded by a raised edge, leaving enough space to rotate the lens, allowing for focusing even when installed

The entire system is designed for IMX179 type cameras, which offer the best overall package for Autodarts. However, OV9732 and OV2735 cameras should also fit, as the inner diameter provides space for 3.8x3.8cm, and the screw holes are at 2.8x2.8cm

It is printed in PLA. PETG is also possible. Supports are required. Use tree supports, organic style. Check "Only on build plate" and "Remove small transitions". The choice of color is up to you. I chose white because it matches my setup, which is gradually being converted to white

Only the following is required in addition to the printed parts:

2× M3×20 for the single holder
2× M3×12 for the camera cover
4× M2×5 for the camera
