Pi Camera iVict LED Desk Light Mount for OctoPi

thingiverse

This is a Raspberry Pi camera mount I designed for a desk lamp I bought from Amazon to illuminate my print bed and monitor it during prints. It allows me or services like the spaghetti detective to clearly see the current print without needing super bright room lighting. V1 relies entirely on friction to hold onto the lamp and the camera and only supports one rotational orientation. V2 supports 3 orientations (so you can use the cam sideways for better vertical coverage) and has pins to hold onto the lamp and keep the camera from falling out. I recommend using V2. The slice quality won't matter too much, I found success using AstroPrint's "draft" slicer settings. ***Pi camera used (Expected dimensions are 25mm x 25mm with 4mm thickness below camera with back components):*** **Brand:** *AuviPal* **Listing name:** *"AuviPal 5 Megapixels Raspberry Pi Camera Module 1080p OV5647 Sensor with 6 inch 15 Pin Ribbon Cable for Model A/B/B+, Pi 2, 3, 3B+ and Pi 4"* **Amazon Link:** https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PQ63D2S ***Lamp used:*** **Brand:** *iVict* **Listing name:** *"Clip on Light Reading Lights - iVict 24 LED USB Book Clamp Light with 3 Color Modes, 10 Brightness Dimmer and Auto Off Timer, Eye Protection Kids Desk Lamp, 360 ° Flexible Gooseneck Bed Night Light"* **Amazon Link:** https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NKRPZXN Extension cable used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SN8HB1R
