On-Rail Camera Mounting Arm For Prusa i3v

thingiverse

This camera mount in development can be fitted to aluminum extrusions forming the Prusa i3v frame structure. It is engineered specifically for a small Raspberry Pi camera module and will operate with the OctoPrint operating system for RPi. Using OpenSCAD files, you should be able to adjust the arm length and hole diameter settings. Be sure to set the hole diameter value at 0.2 millimeters less than the threaded part of your machine screw's diameter. Revision 1, dated August 31, 2014, features a base bracket paired with an improved, narrow arm that is slotted in the center. The standard OpenSCAD file for the normal arm has been updated and the empty OpenSCAD file was replaced. An additional arm piece for modular extension length is planned along with camera module housing. Revision 2, dated August 31, 2014, includes a second adjustable arm section that shares the base socket with existing parts. The combination of both arm designs now offers flexibility in terms of total reach, allowing users to experiment with unique dimensions and arrangements using the OpenSCAD files. Open the camera module case instructions: 1- Using the provided OpenSCAD files adjust length settings for the individual pieces according to need. 2- For precise setup and calibration of components be sure the STL file is aligned perpendicularly on your 3D printer's bed using a specialized software such as netfabb before finalizing the printout process. This includes accurately placing any holes so they remain oriented with the platform itself in their natural environment for seamless performance and operation. 3- To guarantee optimal stability and minimize deformation remember to include support materials during processing in Slic3r, Cura or another similar slicing program based on personal preference while working towards printing successful and high-quality final product parts.
