(Plate shown with part below screwed in place)		 port_plate_2in.STL
port_plate_2in_29.02.2016.PDF		 Make this in ~6mm ali plate.
2in_support.png 2in_support.STL This part should be a slide fit into the 60mm base port. It should not rattle, it's purporse is to have the camera position be repeatable. If you replace the camera assembly, you should not need to re-align.
This screws onto the port_plate_2in above. Use ~20mm long M4 countersunk screws, let them self-tap into the plastic.
2in_support_end.png 2in_support_end.STL See the note above. Snug fit required. If not, alter your extrusion settings, or add a small dimension offset.
