I downloaded this cam relocator from Makerworld and printed it. Significant improvement of the camera position and view!
Thanks to the originator "mlodybuk"! You did a great job!
Following instructions have been done on my Bambu Lab A1, the A1 mini cam is supposed to be managed accordingly.
I noticed that there was some room for improvement. So I took the files on a workplane in TinkerCad and made a.m. changes, slight improvements.
Printed the plate with logo on my MK3 with MMU, as I don't have an AMS lite (yet). All other parts printed on Bambu Lab A1.
Bambu provides an information for A1 mini printer how to take the cam out. Open the front cover and put it in your spares box. After print double-check if you can clip the plate on the Bambu opening, rework if necessary, mine fitted like a charme! Then strip the cable of the LED light and cam off, remind that the red cable is in front (showing towards you when reassemble). Next is to carefully push the cam out of the original housing. Don't remember how I did it, but eventually managed it, wasn't hard. Look for the Bambu specification, which I did not find.
Next step is to join the Cam-Body-part with the Cam-Plate, insert the cam into the “Cam-Body.stl” part pretty far through the body until it (almost) reached the front. Run the cam cable through the hole and reconnect carefully. Put the cover on the body and mount the plate to the original Bambu body. I checked assembly two times and had success. Nothing needed to be reworked. Maybe a little hands-on the inner part of body, so the cam PCB slides seamlessly in the body. Don't touch the lens of the cam. Good luck!
Although the cam doesn't deliver video pictures, it now has a much better angle of view than before, when it just showed the flat plate from a narrow angle. Look at the photographs above.
Because of the genious (mlodybuk) idea of rotating the cam the view is now unbelievable improved. I would love to have live video, but for observing spaghetti salad this is now absolutely acceptable for me.
