Mount Kit (JeffCo)

thingiverse

UPDATE: 5/24/2018 I added an elbow to hold three items on one arm. It will be used to mount a camera and an LED light, using a 30x70mm case. Take a look! I also made a mount with a third screw hole for more demanding setups. I picked the most-used mount. I created several Pi camera cases and mounts, etc. Then I decided to make a kit out of all my mounting accessories. Even a mountable case was added for a 30x70mm project board, used to create an LED light array to illuminate my 3D printer. A camera mount that fastens to the z-axis of my Monoprice Maker Select v2 (Wanhao I3 rebrand) is included. You can either strap it on the left end of the rails with a small zip tie or glue a small magnet to the mount and it will stick by itself. If you want to use the z-axis mount on the right side instead, make a mirror of it in your slicer. There are three different length booms on each. Arms were made to go between the mounts and the camera case or whatever you put on it. Some arms are long, some short, and some have a 90-degree turn in them. You'll see what I mean when you look over them. A Pi camera case was created that can also hold eight 5mm high-intensity LEDs for lighting. Wire them in parallel and use a 22-ohm resistor (or two 47 ohms in parallel to handle the wattage better). The "Stand Mount" is a pedestal mount with a 20mm magnet glued to the bottom so it can stick to metallic surfaces. Mounts were made with horizontal and vertical hinges. One pair has beveled large holes, and another pair has small holes for M2 screws (for mounting to my Pi case). If you want to make other things that will interface with this hinge design, know that the camera's single blade is 12x4mm and 13mm long. The double blade on the mount is made of two 3.9mm blades and a 4.2mm gap. The hinge has 3.5mm screw holes for M3 screws. The Screw-Down Camera Mount Platform allows you to screw it to the mount so it can stand on a table. It's designed to use M2 self-tapping screws. The case for the 30x70mm project board needs four-M2x8mm self-tapping screws. There are also holes in the case that allow 22-gauge wire to pass through. The cases for the Pi camera need M2x6mm self-tapping screws. All hinges use M3x16mm screws and nuts, with a washer used under each screw. One mount has no hinge; it's just to feed cables through to keep them out of the way. All mounts have a wide slit in them to feed the camera ribbon cable through if needed.
