ELP Camera Stand

thingiverse

This is a camera mount designed for two distinct ELP cameras. The boxes utilize M2.5 screws, while the arms rely on M3 screws. I use this setup with my 3D printer, but you can also apply it to your desk. You need to print the screw knob and sphere arm as a single unit, although I've included STL files for them individually in case you want to make modifications. Initially, I planned to use a plain base with suction cups, but they didn't hold securely. Nonetheless, I've included the base since it could potentially work well with a clamp mount. If you're feeling adventurous and wish to try using suction cups, I acquired mine at my local arts and crafts store. My cable management system is straightforward - I wrap the cable around the arm several times. Note: I built the smaller body first (the white camera in the photo), but that specific camera caused Octoprint to disconnect from my printer despite upgrading the PI, power supply, and OS. Now, I'm experimenting with the larger camera. Big camera (still testing with Octoprint): http://a.co/hbQdWa1 Little camera (not ideal for Octoprint): http://a.co/dj8xSQV Update: After using the big camera without any issues, I recommend adjusting the /boot/octopi.txt file by adding "camera_usb_options=-r 320x200". To determine valid formats, use the command v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext.
