Pi Camera v2 simple mount

thingiverse

I wanted a pi camera v2 mount that fulfilled the following: 1. has to mount the camera securely (cannot just be a box that has a camera board flopping around in it) 2. has to print without supports (you will have to flip the back part over, but everything else loads in the correct orientation) 3. has to not be huge and ungainly 4. needs to print quickly (I printed this at .2mm with 20% infill in 1.5 hours) 5. needs to mount to 2020 rail I couldn't find one that fulfilled all of these (especially #3, there are a ton of interesting looking mounts and arms out there, but a lot of them are big unwieldy things that could probably hold a dslr.) So I made one. I hope other people can benefit. This one also has the benefit that you don't need to take the camera out of the box to disconnect the cable. I used m3x10mm screws to put everything together, and you can print as many arms as you need (I used 2). The holes in the base are a slip fit for the fasteners, and there is one slip fit and one interference fit in each arm, and then the case front has an interference fit hole, so the only nut you will need will be a t slot nut for the mount to the extrusion. I used a printed t slot nut that fits around a regular m3 nut. Also, the camera should fit well, but still have a bit of movement. I print PETG with 100.5% scale to counter the minor shrinkage, and it came out with less than half a mm of slop.
