Ender 5 universal camera mount

thingiverse

Having bought myself a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with ZeroCam (for OctoPrint) I was astonished to see how few cases and attachments on here supported them. I had also bought the "official Zero 2 case" which is absolute sh1te. The hole in the case doesn't fit the ZeroCam and the top of the case doesn't even attach properly unless you stick it together with bits of insulation tape. Anyway, I digress ... I would have sacked the case off completely if I hadn't stuck the camera to it using the adhesive pad (supplied), which is now so firmly stuck that it would be impossible to remove it without breaking the camera. So ... I designed this arm to mount it to the frame of the Ender 5. To be honest the arm is universal and you can pretty much mount anything you like with it. I stuck the mounting plate to the case using silicone adhesive, but any kind of glue will do. The arm is extremely strong, but will deform just enough to clip over the horizontal frame bar. You'll need to give it a good push, but it will go on and then stay reliably. The mounting plate attaches to the articulator with a single nut and bolt and can be tightened to hold it at your preferred angle. It's designed to mount on the right hand side of the frame, but if you load the arm and the articulator into your slicer and mirror them then they will fit nicely on the left instead. No need for any extra files.
