Ender 5 OV5647 Camera Case/Mount

thingiverse

This is an adaptation of Thing: 3376006 I tried printing several cases for the RaspberryPi IR camera (OV5647). This was the only one I found that actually fits. There must have been several different cameras sold as OV5647. I've linked the exact one I purchased below. On the original, the case when mounted upright with the stand on the bottom, resulted in the camera being upside down and the ribbon cable coming out the top. You then had to change the camera setting in octopi, and any videos you downloaded from it would be inverted as well. After converting my Ender 5 to Direct Drive, I was unable to use the mount any longer because the extruder would now crash into the camera when mounted on the front top rail. With this adaptation, I changed the mount to make the struts lean further back so the camera would have enough room to clear the extruder. I also moved the ribbon slot so the camera could be mounted in its correct orientation so there would be no need for changes in the software. The tolerances on this case are TIGHT, you may need to do some light filing to get it snapped into place. I used a pair of pliers to snap the front cover on, then glued all the seams. I also ran a bead of glue over the ribbon cable connector and the ribbon just to make sure it didn't slip out after I glued the front of the case on. The only piece that may need supports is the mount.
