ELP Camera Stand

thingiverse

This is a camera mount for two different ELP cameras. The boxes use M2.5 screws. The arms use M3 screws. I use this with my 3D printer but you could use them on your desk too. You must print the screw knob and sphere arm as a combo but I've included the STL files of them individually in case you want to make changes. I had originally intended to use the plain base with suction cups but they would not hold reliably. None-the-less, I've included the base as I think you could use it with a clamp mount. If you're adventurous and want to truy suction cups, I got mine at the local arts and crafts store. My cable management system is pretty simple, I wrap the cable around the arm a few times. Note: I made the smaller body first (white in photo) but found that that camera was causing Octoprint to disconnect from the printer. I upgraded the PI, the power supply, the OS but still got disconnects. I'm now trying the larger camera. Big camera (still testing with Octoprint): http://a.co/hbQdWa1 Little camera (not good for Octoprint): http://a.co/dj8xSQV Update: Ive been using the big camera without problem. To minimize lag try the following in /boot/octopi.txt camera_usb_options="-r 320x200" Valid formats can be found using v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext
