Prusa I3 MK2 Raspberry Pi Camera Mount

thingiverse

I wanted to lift my Raspberry Pi camera up a little above bed level on my Prusa I3 MK2 to get a better view of the print for timelapse videos. So I started with the ball mount from Exclusive and tweaked it to come straight off the corner of the bed, in line with the x-frame underneath, and put fingers on the end. Then I used the camera case back and two of the 40mm link arms from here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:247590 and the camera case front from here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:403712 All assembled with a couple of m3x16 screws and m3 nuts. This got the camera up above the bed a bit to give a better vantage point of the whole print. I attached the mounting arm under the x-frame in the front right corner, replacing the existing m8 screw with a new m10 screw to account for the thickness of the mounting arm. Just make sure to set it all back far enough that it doesn't get hit by the hot end at its closest, and doesn't interfere with the y axis rods below. Take a look at my uploaded pictures to see how this is assembled, and even a picture of the bed taken from this mount so you can see what can be captured from the Raspberry Pi Camera (v2).
