Flexible PiCam Mount
Description
So If You Are Not Using Octoprint Served From A Raspberrypi To Drive Your 3D Printers, You Are Missing Out! It Is Absolutely The Easiest And Most Convenient Way To Get The Printer Setting And Code From Your Computer To The Build Plate! *I Am In No Way Associated With This Open Source Project Or Any Of Its Contributors. I Am Simply An Avid User And Fan Of This Great Tool.* It Is Easy To Setup And Even Easier To Use. [Get Octoprint Here](Http://Octoprint.Org/) And [Support The Cause Here](Http://Octoprint.Org/Support-Octoprint/) Now, Among The Cooler Features Of The Whole Octopi Experience It The Support For A Picam Or Webcam To Monitor Your Progress In Real-Time Live-Stream And/Or Capture Your Prints In Time-Lapse Video. Yes Really! The Only Challenge For Me Was To Find A Convenient Way To Mount And Position The Camera. I Found That For Different Prints I Wanted New Locations To Capture The Action. So The Flexible Picam Mount Was Born. Just Print Off The Base Mount Of Your Choice And Fix It Wherever It Works For You On Your Cabinet Or Printer ([3M Command](Http://A.Co/43Nflnt) Strips Work Great!), Print Off Enough Of The Ball And Socket Joint To Reach Your Target, And Snap On The Camera Mount. Here Is The Camera I Use: [Waveshare Raspberry Pi Camera](Http://A.Co/Hxvbebc) *With The Infrared Wings Removed*. It Is A Small And Good-Quality Camera With Adjustable Focus. Plus, I Added A [Longer Camera Ribbon](Http://A.Co/8Kr7Do1) To Make It Even Easier. Enjoy! And As Always I Love To Hear Your Feedback. Also, I Want To Thank [Giufini](Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Giufini/About). The Ball Join In This Project Is A Remix Of The Bs_Joint From His Project [Pcb Workstation With Articulated Arms](Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:801279).
