Raspi IR Cam Mount for Prusa i3 mk2

thingiverse

I have created a case for the raspi IR cams (those with the bigger lenses). It will fit on the same holder as in the original design and require 4 M3 screws and nuts to connect the front and back together (I like screws and even if they aren´t needed - it´ll make the final item look very cool). Since the "Ball Style" wears out pretty quick and will make the cam move (or tip over) I´ve created a new mount which will use screws to fix it all together. I used a m3x25 and a self locking nut to mount the camera and a self tapping 3x10 screw to fix the coupling to the base. By loosening and tightening the screws you can adjust the camera and make this much more reliable then the ball mount. Be gentle with the self tapping screw this will wear out the plastic if you remove it to often or screw it to hard. I´ll make a version with a regular M3 screw and an inserted nut. btw. the M3 screw i used was in the spare pack of the prusa i3 mk2 kit. Yes i could get rid of the ball "fitting" but it will work for both mounting styles so i´ll keep it as it is. The base bar is straight - simply because the camera was interfering with the print head and it also needed to be further away for a better picture. See the attached rendering and picture for assembling instructions. I´ll provide a print all at once stl too (no supports needed - if you need a raft depends on your printer - since this is designed for the prusa i3 mk2 I´d recommend printing it directly to the PEI surface). Print Settings Printer: Prusa i3 mk2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 200 micron Infill: 25% Notes: This was printed with an awesome new PLA filament which I´m currently testing. Can´t tell you more - but I´ll update this info when I can talk about it ;-) the base can be printed as is - the coupling should be printed upside down (the squareish part facing the build plate)
