Pi case and camera mount for CR-10

thingiverse

Introduction --------- I control my CR-10S with Octoprint. Here's a link to a video about my setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tB7b_evsGw. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any good camera mount system that is adjustable and easy to switch between bed mount and frame mount. I always want my camera mounted to the frame for monitoring purposes, so it doesn't add extra weight or cables when printing. However, occasionally I make a time-lapse video and need to mount the camera to the bed. Most designs require removing bed leveling screws as a mount point, which I didn't want to do. So, I came up with this modular system. I've seen and designed similar camera arm systems before, but I prefer printing my own plastic screws instead of buying metal ones. The Raspberry Pi case is based on the "Sleeve Case for Raspberry Pi" by walter (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:604915). I also added a simple spool holder that fits my spools without being adjustable or fancy. How to Print ------------- I printed everything in regular PLA with 20% infill, except the screws which have thicker shells for added strength. Print two bed legs, one of them mirrored. You may want to print the bed center part in a different material if you plan to use higher bed temperatures. Things I've Used ---------------- Computer: Raspberry PI 3B (https://www.raspberrypi.org) Camera: ELP-USB500W02M (http://www.elpcctv.com) with a 170-degree wide-angle lens Software: Octoprint (https://octoprint.org) and Sonoff modules flashed with Tasmota firmware (https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota) Build Instructions ------------------ Watch the included YouTube video for instructions. If you plan to use the bed camera mount, adjust your start gcode to avoid the hotend hitting the bed center part at the beginning of print.
