TrackMix BetterHat
Description
This is a "better" version of the mounting system for the Reolink TrackMix camera in case you prefer to hang it on a ceiling/soffit. It will require some work to put it together, but nothing major. The recommended procedure is the following: - Print everything and do a dry fit first (no-glue), making sure all aligns and goes together. DO NOT GLUE IT TOGETHER YET, the reason will became apparent shortly. - Disassemble the camera (5 screws of the "hat"). Pay attention not to damage the cable/connector. Gently pull on the cable and the connector will pop off. - Remove the 4 tiny plastic screws from the cable hatch. Now use one of these tiny screws to thread the 3D print, following these instructions: take the Cable Mount (Part2), one of the tiny screws, a magnetic screwdriver and a lighter/heat-gun, put the screw in the screwdriver and heat it up with a lighter/heat-gun, now slowly screw it into one of the hollow cylinders (screw holes) of the Cable Mount (Part2). If you screw this up, just print a new one of these parts (that's why you don't want to glue it all together at the beginning). - Now you can fit the gasket of the little cable hatch and screw it in place. - Place the other gasket back in place on the metallic edge of the camera body, re-connect the connector and close it off, screw the last 5 mechanical screw in place. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN (the body is aluminium, you'll strip it if you'll overdo it). Done. Enjoy your camera!
