TH3D Solid Bed Mounts Installation Information

Camera Adapter Part Notes

We include the C270/C310 and EZCAM HD Mount on all Solid Bed Mount V1.1 kit packages. If you need other ones for other cameras (C920, C615, Pi Cam, Go Pro), then check the Camera Adapter STL Page.

The adapter piece is to be printed in PLA as it is not near the bed and will even work in an enclosure. If you didn’t select a camera arm option or want to change cameras you can download the STL files for the camera adapters from the page here: Download page

Installation Instructions

1. Unscrew the existing bed screws and remove the spring (and spacer if you have them) from each corner.
2. Replace the Spring with the new bed mounts
   1. The strain relief goes in the rear left corner
   2. Camera mount goes in the front right corner
3. Tighten down the thumbscrew to tighten bed against the spacers
   1. Use Loctite or superglue on the nuts if you have issues with them spinning off.
   2. Do NOT overtighten as you can damage your heated bed PCB if you overtighten the screws, They should be finger tight.
   3. If you do overtighten and short the PCB heater to the spacer you can put a Nylon washer between the spacer and the bed to insulate it.
4. Use the included zip ties to secure the bed wires into the strain relief part
