BYOC RPI Camera Stand

thingiverse

This is a "Bring Your Own Case" Stand for a Raspberry Pi and RPI Camera, where you keep whatever your preferred case might be and just slide it into the stand. I took this approach so that it is more of a universal fit for various RPI models and so that you can continue to use your favorite case. I am happy to make other sized RPI trays and corresponding braces if there is interest, just shoot me a comment. The camera holder is for the standard RPI Camera that is 25mm x 25mm square. The camera holder swivels in the Z-axis and Y-Axis. I did not include a bolt for the camera holder, because I made this with a commodity GoPro thumb screw and nut in mind. I thought it important to be able to tighten down the thumb screw to maintain the camera position and that's not as easy to achieve as just putting in a bolt there. I have included two sizes, where the dimensions called out in the part names are the inside width and depth of the RPI Tray. The larger size fits the stock RPI 4 case, though that case isn't suitable for use with the camera without modification. I chose it as a reference, because it seems like many cases out there are about that size. The smaller size fits my favorite RPI 4 case, which is a favorite because the entire case is a heat-sync with no need of a fan, and it's exceptionally minimalistic.
