Anycubic i3 Mega Raspberry Pi 4B holder with Raspberry Pi Camera mount

thingiverse

I'm using an i3 Mega all-in-one holder for my Raspberry Pi 4 and the Pi Camera V2. It's perfect for OctoPi. The holder clips onto the left side of the i3 Mega, but if you flip it around, you can mount it to the right side instead. The Raspberry Pi 4 case just slides onto the clamp, and the camera is held securely by a ballhead mount. Everything clicks into place tool-free. I customized the parts from these sources: The clamp comes from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2568708. I added a slide mount to the side of the clamp and a ballhead camera mount. The Pi camera holder was inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1646474, but I modified it to fit better. The new socket is harder to push in, but once it's secure, it's extremely sturdy. The Raspberry Pi 4B case came from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3723561. I thickened the base and adjusted it to fit the slider on the clamp. I chose an orientation that puts the USB ports at the bottom and the micro USB-C on the back. You can pick any case top with a flexcable opening from this source, but I used one with air vent slots. Make sure your flexcable is at least 25cm long - mine is 30cm. I printed it with a nozzle of 0.4mm and a layer height of 0.2mm at a speed of 50mm/s. No supports were needed. Don't forget to add "-rot 180" to your octopi.txt file to rotate the camera 180°. Alternatively, you can flip horizontal and vertical with "-fv -fh". This is how my octopi.txt looks: camera="raspi" camera_raspi_options="-x 1640 -y 1232 -fps 20 -quality 95 -rot 180"
