Raspberry Pi Camera Tripod Mount
Description
Needed to mount my raspberry pi camera to be able to watch/record my prints in octoprint, so I made this. After printing the box I realized I could make it smaller to save plastic, so I did with the lid, but didn't bother to reprint the box. The included models are resized properly OBJ is also included if you want to make changes. To mount the lid, i used 3mm threaded inserts pressed in with a soldering iron and allen key screws. Link below. The lid isnt really necessay, but it helps keep dirt/dust out. Just be gentle, make sure your lens is aligned before pushing the lid on too hard. camera module is the official raspberry pi v2 module. I just used some old screws I had laying around and screwed it directly into the plastic holes. They didn't line up perfectly but worked well enough. I also had to drill out the holes in the camera board slightly so the screws could fit. Be sure you don't tighten the screws down too much, as the components on the back stick out, and thus the actual green part of the board wont be able to touch the printed box This box is designed to screw onto a standard 1/4"-20 tripod thread. I just used a cheap mini tripod I had laying around. Again, the threads just cut into the plastic. I recommend purchasing longer ribbon cable if you are building this with a pi, as the included cable is pretty short. a longer cable will give you more flexibility in where you place the camera.
