Adjustable Pi Camera V2 Holder for Ender 3

thingiverse

This is a simple camera mount for the Raspberry Pi Camera V2. It snaps onto the Z-axis limit switch bracket of the Ender 3 without requiring any additional tools or parts, unless you want to do so. The Thing includes two versions of the arm: - A slide-on camera arm that slides and snaps into place - A screw-on camera arm that uses two M4x8mm screws I personally used the slide-on version because I prefer not to use any tools. The slide-on arm version requires a bit of force to fit onto the limit switch bracket. All the parts can be printed without support, with each taking about 15-20 minutes to print. The backplate for the casing should have 50% infill for a better sphere shape, while all other parts will do with 15%. Please follow these steps for the easiest way of assembly (the order matters). Assembly Instructions: 1. Put the ribbon cable through the slot on the side of the case 2. Connect the ribbon cable to the copper plates towards the board 3. Make sure the ribbon connection is secure 4. Carefully pull the ribbon cable back until the camera sits in the case 5. Push the camera into the case until it snaps into place 6. Push the backplate of the case onto the mounting arm 7. Slide the case onto the backplate (you can turn the backplate for a better view or to see the nozzle) 8. Slide-on arm: Let the mounting arm sit in the hole on the side and squeeze between the front of the bracket and the back of the arm until the mount snaps into place (use some force) Screw on arm: Use one of the two M4X8mm screws to loosely mount the backplate onto the arm, then slide it into the bracket and place the second screw 9. Route the ribbon cable as you like and enjoy your new mount!
