-2020 Aplic Cam Mount is a 3D printed part that is used to mount a cheapo aplic hd camera to the 2020 frame at bed level. The mount is designed to be held in place with a M3 screw and a M3 nut. Additionaly, you need 4x M3 heat inserts, 4x M3 spacers and 4x M3x6 screws for mounting the camera on the mount (pun intended).

+You can also invert mount the camera under the gantry, which would work better for monitoring higher layers. *Photo courtesy of _tsimo_ V2.6592*

 ### Printing
-The mount is printed in the orientation that it is in the STL file. The mount should be printed with the recommended Voron settings (40% infill and 4 perimeters) in ABS/ASA. That said, I've printed mine in PETG and it still holds. No supports or mount needed
