Ender 5 RPi Camera Mount

thingiverse

A custom camera mount for the Raspberry Pi camera module designed specifically for use with the Ender 5 3D printer. This adapter clips securely onto the printer's mounting plate at the front, providing an optimal angle of view for capturing lower layers and ensuring a clear shot even when the plate moves up or down. The mount is positioned far enough back to avoid interference from the stock fan enclosure. During fabrication, I found it necessary to perform some light sanding on the arm where it connects to the body in order to achieve a snug fit. Although the measurements were correct, my print exhibited slight deviations from standard dimensions, necessitating this minor adjustment. If the adapter is too large, attempting to force it into place risks damaging the thin front wall of the body. The camera face is intended to engage with the body through pressure fitment, but removing it afterwards proves quite challenging due to its secure hold within the mount.
