Raspberry Pi camera night vision case with auto IR filter cut

Description

Hi, If you download and use this, please give it a like and/or a collect! If you print it, please post a make with pictures of the end result! Thank you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Camera module with auto IR filter cut I made this pi camera case because there wasn't any case that would fit a raspberry pi cam with the auto IR cut filter. This camera is more usefull then others because with the auto IR cut you don't have a pink picture at daylight. The case fits perfectly, it also has place for 3 heat sinks (14.2mmx14.2mm heatsinks) , the cam and the IR lights can now easily loose their warmth. All the parts will set you back 19 dollars/euro. (except for the t-slot nuts, but you should have them at stock anyway for all kinds of mods) To mount the camera i made a straight and a 90 degree camera mount and a 2020 profile mount. To extend it print the nuts and balls as much as you need. ---------------------------------------- A little side note, i changed the z-axis leadscrews (8mm lead to 4 mm lead) on my ender 5 and didn't cut them at the right length yet, that's why the leadscrew is in front of the cam view. Sorry for that. ----------------------------------------- Settings, You need to edit octopi.txt, search for the line #camera="raspi" and change the source to "raspi" instead of "auto" or "usb". Also remove the # before the line. Then for the cam settings scroll down to: "Additional options to supply to MJPG Streamer for the RasPi Cam" and add the folowing line. camera_raspi_options="-x 1280 -y 1024 -fps 20 -quality 15 -hf -vf" these settings seem to work best and gives the right FOV and screen ratio. As you can see i have set a low (15) quality, i did this because i saw no difference between a high and a low quality setting, only thing that did changed was the bitrate that would go skyhigh, so i leave it at 15 for now. Also i added -hf and -vf to my settings, it stands for vertical flip and horizontal flip. I did this because i have the cam upside down. You can ofcourse flip the horizontal and vertical in octoprint but, if you record your camera motions in synology surveillance station like i do, then flipping the image in octoprint won't affect the image outside octoprint. ----------------------------------------------- Here is the BOM list: The IR-cut pi camera with IR leds and 175 degree lens: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/32881466491.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.320c4c4dXaaHcX The flat PI cam cable (choose your length): https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/32845380904.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.320c4c4dXaaHcX The 14.2mmx14.2mm heatsinks: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/32969872717.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4deoZEeY m5 T-slot nuts (Bag of 50 pieces): https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/32815322093.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4duA6OOC And the nuts and bolts Bom list, you should buy them locally. m3x16mm allen bolts, 4 pieces m3 locknuts, 4 pieces m5x10 mm allen bolts, 2 pieces ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Take a look at my other project/things: Ender 5 dual z axis mod: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4079052 Lab power supply DSP3005: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4136930 Ender 5 y axis cover & silent switch: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4078810 Ender 5 dual z axis rod cover: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4079406 Ender 5 bullseye base: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4128233 Smart home lenovo P10 wall frame: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4125996 ----------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
