Pi camera mount in Ikea Lack enclosure?

I'm awaiting delivery of my MK3 (should ship tomorrow I'm hoping) and I already bought all the parts for the Ikea Lack enclosure here: https://www.prusaprinters.org/cheap-simple-3d-printer-enclosure/

I know it's a tight fit already for the printer, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a Pi camera mount that mounts to the bed that wont be too long and allow it to actually still fit in the enclosure even when the bed is all the way forward.

Thank you!

I had the same issue, I now placed it on one of the legs of the Lack table. I dont really need time-lapse video, its nice at first, but whats the use...

I am now planning on creating something so I can attach it on the Z axis

I would like to create and share timelapse videos/gifs of a lot of my prints though.

This one LOOKS like it mighttt just work and fit in a way that wouldn't be too far forward.
Anyone able to confirm? I don't actually have my MK3 or my enclosure, so I'm really hoping to save time and print a good mount the first time instead of going through 5-10 iterations until I find one 😉

There's a few pictures of the bed forward and it looks like it just barely extends past the front control panel.

This might work- it's the one I use. Because of the dogbone, you can get it real close. I like it because it is very low profile, and I can get the camera down so low that I can watch the first layer on OctoPrint.

This wont fit, you cant even fit the controlboard in front with the ikea enclosure. I have mine mounted on the table.
I only have like 1cm room at the back and 1cm at front if I move the bed, so not a lot of room
