3D printed hardware thread

dudemaar · Nov 10, 2025

Hey folks! Making a specific thread here for posting your 3d printed hardware/ideas that relates to ip cameras and installations. I have been 3d printing various hardware for mounting doorbells and cameras over the years and I have also seen some other good ideas/prints around here in the past. Trying to keep it all in one thread. ?

Here is a couple useful Reolink video doorbell mounts I have found on the interwebs and printed/installed.

Reolink doorbell 45 degree corner wedge by Handiness6848

A reolink doorbell wedge of 45 degrees that perfectly fits in a 90 degree corner. Current solutions were either the wrong angle or had the screw holes in the wrong spot.Provides plenty of space for a ~15 cm ethernet cable to be coiled into & provides a view of (partially) the door & anyone who...

Reolink Doorbell Spacer - 42° Angle by jamieson456

This mount is designed to point your Reolink Wifi/POE doorbell almost 90° when used in conjunction with Reolink's included angled mount. In my case the doorbell is on the wall perpendicular to my front door which is in a recessed entryway. So the doorbell would only be looking at a wall even...

A current project in progress is designing a wall mount for a couple of my turret cameras. One cam is on vinyl siding so I am working on a profile for that. to sit flat against.

A T54IR-ZE-S3 watching my printing progress out in the shop. Printer is connected to a wifi controlled geeni outlet, so I can shut it down remotely if anything goes wrong.

Are you just using PLA for material or something else?
ive only used pla as im just getting around to learning how to print..

I was going to make a post with some of the things I have done or designed for my camera installs. I'll add some pictures here when I get the chance.

Using PETG filament as its good for outdoors UV resistance. Similar to printing PLA, Just hotter nozzle and bed temps.

40 deg. Mount for soffit.

I've been using PETG for all of my outside stuff, as well. I tried ASA, but failed miserably and gave up.

Curious on the cost of these prints. Not counting the cost of the printer of electricity, just the cost of the supplies. What does this mount cost you to print?

SUNLU PETG can be had at $10 for a 1kg spool. So maybe $1, no more than $2. More walls and a denser infill will need more filament.

Ri22o · Nov 19, 2025

This is a dual 4K-T mount I am working on. It would mount to the top of a PFA box. It's about 338g of filament, so about $3.40.

HDD Rails for Hikvision NVR

Drive rail for Hikvision DS-9000 series security dvr by Scott Paladin | Download free STL model | Printables.com

Im shit at modeling but I've been working on Hikvision junctions boxes that you can't buy. 200 grams so $2.40 for ASA and a little more for a TPU gasket

Would anyone be willing to make a small box for Colorvu Hikvision turret cameras? I think I could use a bunch of them!

I could make you something for a few dollars. would be best to make multiple mounts as shipping would be cheaper if combined into 1 package. Let me know the model number of camera and I will see what I can draw up.

My new low profile wall mount turned out great! Now just need to mount it.

That would be awesome. I’ll send you the model I have. I dig it up here in a bit

Are you looking for a wall mount like what I made above or just the regular ceiling/soffit mount junction style ?

Basically a ceiling / soffit mount. The box Hikvision sells is so thick it’s unnecessary and makes it so bulky. The gland can’t fit behind the factory camera because it’s like 1/4 inch or less too short. A box that is half the thickness of that factory box would be amazing.

Hey I sketched up something for you this morning. Its 1.2 " inches thick. should work for your Hik cam. Not sure about cost of shipping from Canada? Our postal service is all messed up atm and UPS shipping is about $30 cdn to ship 4 mounts by regular parcel. Maybe you know someone with a printer and they can print it for you? If not Let me know and I will see what I can do. I will drop the STL file below to share with others. . Also the drawing is on www.Onshape.com publicly and can be modified to your liking.
