Easy To Print Sturdy Raspberry Pi Camera Mount - Ender 3

thingiverse

This was inspired by "Ultimate Sturdy Octoprint / Pi Camera Mount - Ender 3 - Stewpercharged" (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3374914) I had originally set out to print just that but the slicer estimate of 9+ hours while printing it vertically really put me off. I used the approximate dimensions and angles from that model but realized I had to tweak the camera angle a bit for the camera to view the center of the print bed. For the Camera enclosure, I had originally printed and taken inspiration from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2031573 and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:403712 for my Monoprice Select Mini. I decided to use the same camera enclosure and mounting mechanism. This model can be printed fairly easily and quickly but does require a few screws. For the camera enclosure I used the screws that came with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083FNFPF2 that I've had for a while now. The arm is connected to the base with two #8 3/4" machine bolts and nuts and the camera enclosure is connected to the arm with some small screw and nut I found from my other projects(Hole Diameter 2.4mm). I also used a velcro strap to tie the flex cable to the mount.
