Holder for RPi-Camera-RingLicht and other PCBs

thingiverse

## Motivation Recently I got an OctoPi and also wanted to have a camera attached to it. Therefore I used the Raspberry Pi camera. But as my 3d printer sits in a dark corner of the room, I also needed a proper light. Instead of using an external lamp, I wanted something attached to the camera... a ring light. As I could not find a suitable holder for my ring light, I designed this one. ## Description This is a mount for the [RPi-Camera-RingLicht](https://github.com/watterott/RPi-Camera-RingLicht) as sold e.g. by [Watterott](https://shop.watterott.com/Raspberry-Pi-Kamera-Ring-Licht-JST). To attach the camera mount to a RepRap Mendel 3d-printer, you will also need the [arm mount](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:504823) created by [gordonendersby](https://www.thingiverse.com/gordonendersby). The camera mount ("holder") has 4 screw holes that match the screw holes of the *RPi-Camera-RingLicht* PCB and a circular cut-out to a) save material and b) allow the *RingLicht* PCB to also be mounted from the back and "shine through" the holder, if you prefer that way. The camera mount was designed in OpenSCAD and is highly customizable. The source files are also included and can be customized using Thingiverse's Customizer or directly using OpenSCAD. ## Instructions You can print all files with a low infill (I used 20%) and without supports or rafts. So print my file `camera_mount.stl` for the camera mount itself. You'll also have to print the following parts of the arm mount: - [`FrameMount1.stl`](https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/97/8e/ff/cf/da/FrameMount1.stl) - [`FrameMount2.stl`](https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/62/12/04/70/3b/FrameMount2.stl) - [`LowerArm.stl`](https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/e0/2b/a4/f0/70/LowerArm.stl) - [`LowerSwivel.stl`](https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/f9/17/b1/65/96/LowerSwivel.stl) - [`UpperArm.stl`](https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/09/b4/36/de/00/UpperArm.stl) - [`UpperSwivel.stl`](https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/f0/aa/1e/b5/08/UpperSwivel.stl) Check the photos for for better understanding how to assemble the parts. The parts with `lower` go towards the frame, while the parts with `upper` go towards the camera. You'll also need M3 bolts, washers, and nuts: - 2x 25mm (30mm will also do) - 2x 20mm - 1x 16mm - 2x 12mm - 4x 10mm
