Yet another I3 MK3 camera support, but on the back.

I tried many RPi camera supports for my MK3, tweaking them to have a good view of the nozzle because I need to monitor remotely the print to abort it if something bad happens.

I found no viable solutions without modifying the extruder/hotend assembly), so i designed my own support that places the camera on the back side of the printer.

The support is attached to the Z axis so it's always a little above the print height, and allows a clear view of the nozzle and the last layer printed. Not the best point of view to do nice timelapses, but it's precisely what I wanted.

If someone has the same needs, here it is: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2962442
