# Camera Bracket for the CR-10 MAX

**[apalrd's adventures](https://daily.dev/sources/apalrd)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A DIY camera bracket designed for the Creality CR-10 MAX 3D printer, using T-slot 2020 extrusion mounting. The author 3D printed a custom bracket that fits snugly into the printer's 20mm x 20mm extrusion slot, mounting a PoE IP camera to monitor long unattended prints. The bracket was designed in FreeCAD, required iterative sizing adjustments to fit the slot, and uses a #8-32 UNF fastener threaded directly into the plastic. Project files (AMF and FreeCAD formats) are shared under CC-BY-SA.

## Questions this post answers

### How do I mount a camera to a CR-10 MAX printer using the T-slot extrusion?

A custom bracket can be 3D printed to fit snugly into the CR-10 MAX's 2020-style (20mm x 20mm) T-slot extrusion. The bracket is designed from a dimensional drawing of the extrusion, then iteratively resized until it fits snugly. A hole slightly larger than the tap size for a #8-32 UNF fastener secures the camera directly into the plastic without a nut.

_Makers monitoring CR-10 MAX prints remotely share bracket designs and camera setups on daily.dev._
