The Camera Mount I Had to Design Myself

My outdoor camera kept fighting reflections behind glass, and the mount it came with did not line up with the screw holes on my garden shed.

I designed a custom adapter in FreeCAD, 3D-printed it, and reinforced it with heat-set threaded inserts so it would not crack under the screws. It matches the shed holes exactly.

Clean mount, clear picture, no more reflections.

The model is now free to download on MakerWorld.
