Post mounted Raspberry Pi Camera for polargraph/hanging v plotter

thingiverse

This is a custom post mount for a Raspberry Pi camera on my hanging V plotter/polargraph setup. The primary goal is to create time-lapse videos of the machine in action, showcasing its movement and functionality. My first test of time-lapse with this specific configuration can be seen at https://youtu.be/_Gf2_47hRvc. Unfortunately, the colors appear off due to subpar lighting conditions. To capture a wider field of view, I'm using a long flexible cable that passes through a 10mm OD aluminum tube and a low-cost wide-angle lens that screws into the case. Look for mobile phone clip-on wide-angle lenses on eBay for a suitable option. Currently, the case is held together by a few drops of superglue, as it lacks fixings due to space constraints. The camera PCB is secured with a small foam spacer (I used foam tape). This setup runs vPiP and my dual stepper Pi 2/3 HAT, which can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/brianinnes/vPiP and Thingiverse at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1415762.
