Kossel Clear OctoPrint Wi-Fi-Pi camera case and mount

Description

**Note** Here'S A Non-Kossel Clear Specific Version Of This - Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:333167 And One For The Raspberry Pi 2, 3 Or B+ - Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:1771908 Frame Mounted Raspberry Pi Case For The Blue Eagle Labs Kossel Clear. The Logo On The Case Is Used With Permission From Blue Eagle Labs. (Http://Www.Blueeaglelabs.Com/) A Usb Wi-Fi Adapter Is At The End Of An Extension Cable. It Gives Me Better Coverage Than If The Adapter Is Plugged Directly In The Pi. I Made A Mount For The Cable To Keep The Adapter In The Air - Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:241023. A Ball Joint Allows The Camera Angle To Be Adjusted. I Used A 4" Flex Cable From Adafruit - Http://Www.Adafruit.Com/Products/1646. It'S A Lot Shorter Than The Original Cable. There'S A Rectangular Collar That Can Be Installed Around The Socket Arms To Apply Tension To The Ball. You May Not Need It If The Socket Arms Are Printed With Pla. There'S A Gusset Inside Of The Case That Keeps The Arms Parallel, But Abs Seems To Be A Bit Flexible. I Opted To Add A Collar As Opposed To Beefing Up The Arms. Why? I Don'T Know. The Mount Keeps The Camera Close To The Print Bed -- Too Close In Fact So The Pi'S Camera Can'T Really Focus On The Print Job. I Might Look Into Trying Accessory Lenses To Bring The Focus In. But Otherwise, It Does A Good Job Of Allowing Me To Monitor The Print Job Via Octoprint. Https://Www.Youtube.Com/Watch?V=Jvz2Vni9_Bq
