Lightweight Y carriage mount for Pi Camera
Description
I Wanted To Mount The Camera On The Y Carriage Plate Below The Heated Bed On A Wanhao Dupicator I3 (And Others Clones) But Everything I Tried Or Looked At Seemed To Be Really Bulky Or Very Unstable Leading To Lots Of Blurry Viewing, So I Came Up With This Adaption Of Various Bits Found Here On Thingiverse. Y Carriage Mounted Raspberry Pi (And Others) Camera Mount And Camera Case To Fit A Wanhao Duplicator I3 Which I Have Running With Octoprint (Http://Octoprint.Org/) Based Around The Heated Bed Stabilisers From Xyzaxis Which Work Really Well, Along With An Adaptation Of Dcgrigsby'S Pi Arm Mount And The Arm Mount Pi Camera Case From Berky93. The Camera Support Arm Should Be Printed In Abs Or Petg To Withstand The Heat From The Heated Bed. (The Holes In The Arm Are To Assist Abs Printing Rather Than Reduce Weight) To Fit This Make Sure You Loosen All The Corner Screws Otherwise Something Might Get Bent While Fitting. Chose Either Left Or Right Files Depending On Where You Want To Mount The Camera. (The Bed Stabalisers From Xyzaxis On All For Corners Are Recomended Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2036731 Whole Thing Weighs Less Than 11 Grams. The Focus On The Pi Camera Can Be Adjusted Without Having To Open The Case (Break The Lens Seal Before Assembly Though) Ideally Use A Nylon M3 Bolt And Nut To Fix The Camera Case On The Arm But Titanium Or Steel Will Do! Feedback Very Welcome. <B>Update 11/09/2017:</B>Changed Ends Of Arms To Rest Against Y Carriage Rather Than Tuck Under To Avoid Risk Of Hitting Support Frame.
