Ender 3 Bed Handle with integrated Articulating Raspberry Pi Camera installation

thingiverse

I had already built the camera holder (thing 3516462) before finding the bed handle with a single camera mounting point (thing 3666244). Experimenting briefly with using the ball & socket design from thing 3017729 to make the articulated arm, I discovered it difficult to print robust versions of those sockets in the metallic bronze PLA I wanted to use. Therefore, I crafted something similar from the flat easily printed pieces in thing 3516462. I was not yet ready to commit to mounting my camera on the opposite side of the printer, so I remixed the handle to put a mounting point on both sides. Since I did not need to replace the existing camera case, I replaced the mounting points on the handle with the flat-sided ball from thing 3516462, ensuring that all of the balls in the system fit into all of the sockets in the system. The result of my journey is this set of files, which include a variety of parts created by cutting and grafting the ball and socket designs from thing 3516462 onto each other. You will need to decide how many of each thing to print, depending upon where you want to attach the camera and how much range of motion you want it to have. It's likely that you won't need to use them all, but I've kept them together in case you find other applications.
