thingiverse

RPI 2 or 3 sleeve case that can be mounted on Ender 3 v2 extrusion profile. A segmented arm is added to mount a RPI camera. The intended use is for Octoprint on RPI with the option to film the prints in progress. RPI sleeve case is based on the briliant design of Walter https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:604915. I love the concept so I reverse engineered the 3D file so I could change it to my needs. <h1>Changes to the Walters RPI sleeve case:</h1> <ul> <li>I updated the sleeve case with more elegant openings for SD card and power USB, and closed the other holes.</li> <li>Air gaps on the top are more tight than in the original to prevent debris PLA from falling in</li> <li>Added a hole for the RPI camera flatcable and a hole at the side to release the camera cable locking.</li> <li>Added holes in the bottom with countersunk for screw heads to mount the RPI to my Ender 3 v2 with T-nuts.</li> <li>Added a connection for the camera arm.</li> </ul> <h1>The segmented camera arm:</h1> On both the upper and the lower arm a guide for the flat cable can be added. The last piece of the arm is mounted to the camera housing with superglue. Arm segments are mounted with 8mm M4 bolts and hexagon nuts. <h1>Camera housing:</h1> Front and back fit over the camera. It is in 2 parts to make it better printable. The 4 2mm holes are alkigned with the holes in the camera PCB however I just pushed on the parts. No need to connect with bolts. <h1>Parts to make this thing:</h1> Print all parts 1x and the snap-on clip for flat cable guidance 2x Get 4x M4x8mm bolts and 4 nuts to assemble the camera arm. Get 3 M3 or M4 x6mm bolts with T-nuts to mount to the extrusion profile. get a drop of super glue to mount the camera housing to the arm.
