I wanted to change the top of one camera pole to have three turret cameras instead of two cameras currently mounted.
The prior, two headed mount I printed in black PETG has held up well through several years weather.

It's going to take a day and a half to print in PETG. 1/4 of the way through....

22 hours done, about 7 more to go. The top portion will be interesting because I'm printing the vaulted ceiling without using supports, unlike the horizontal portions at base that absolutely required supports. The top of the circular opening, I know my printer is tuned well enough to print successfully, but the ceiling is something else due to the unusual angles of three cylinders merging together and long overhangs.

You can see one of the mounting bolt holes. On the interior side of those holes, I designed hexagonal recesses into which nuts will be pressed into place to accept camera mounting bolts.

The striped appearance is due to the printer's LED lighting strip having discrete emitters.

Total of nearly 28 hours print time. Here it is atop a pole with three turrets on the newly printed mount. A POE+ splitter within the mount lets one ethernet service all three turrets.
Still need to add a brim to newest turret.

Three other cameras on the pole are mounted using standard mounting hardware. I think my pole topper looks better than the strap on, commercial mounts.
