Prusa I3 MK3 BACK Camera support
Description
This Is A Support To Attach A Raspberry Pi Camera Module (V2) (And Optionally A Raspberry Pi Zero) To The Original Prusa I3 Mk3 Printer. Every Camera Support For Original Prusa I3 Mk3 On Thingiverse Puts The Camera On The Front Of The Printer, But From That Point Of View The Nozzle Is Hidden By The Cooling Duct, So A Front Camera Is Ok For Making Timelapses, But Is Almost Useless To Remotely Monitor A Print. This Support Places The Camera On The *Back* Of The Printer, In A Position That Does Not Interferes With The Print But Allows A Quite Clear View Of The Nozzle. The Support Is Composed Of Two Parts, And It Can Be Printed Without Any Support. Two Square M3 Nuts And Two M3X15Mm Screw Are Required To Assemble The Two Parts (Nuts And Screws Should Be In The Prusa Spare Parts Bag) The Camera Module Is Just Pressed Into Its Slot And Should Stay In Position. On The Side Part There Are 4 Holes That Can Be Used To Attach A Raspberry Pi Zero W. If The Part Is Printed In Pla, 4 Spacers Are Mandatory, Because The Rpi Gets Very Hot While Working, And Can Deform The Part. A 20-30Cm Long Camera Cable Is Needed To Mount Camera And Rpi As Seen In The Pictures. Support Is Attached To The Mk3 Simply Tucking The Octagonal Protrusion Into The Right X Carriage Support Hole. If The Image Is Out Of Focus, Just Use Some Pliers To Rotate The Screw Lens Until Image Is Focused, Or Print A Specific Tool, Like Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1570865 My Rpi Runs The Motioneyeos:Https://Github.Com/Ccrisan/Motioneyeos, Configured As "Simple Mjpeg Camera" And Paired To Synology Surveillance Station For Recording And Remote Access, But It Could Works With Octoprint, Using A Flat Cable To Connect The Rpi To Mk3 Board Connector With A Flat Cable. This Is A Sample Video (At 50X Speed, And With Random Music ;) ) Of My Printer Printing One Of The Two Parts: Https://Www.Youtube.Com/Watch?V=Niyzsjyzq0Q
