Prusa I3 MK3 Octoprint HardwareSetup

myminifactory

Octoprint has long been one of the most effective upgrades for 3D printers, which is why I designed both a mounting plate for the Raspberry Pi 1B+, 2B, 3B, and 3B+ and a camera mount for monitoring prints on the Prusa I3 MK3. Mounting Plate: The mounting plate that I created allows you to directly attach the Raspberry Pi to the Enisy Rambo case on the Prusa I3 MK3. Although it has been designed not to interfere with the stepper motor, I also included the STL for a flipped X motor mount in case the Raspberry Pi mounting does get in the way at all. The instructions and bill of materials for mounting the Raspberry Pi can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18SKjTNMpgnNzfmYxaobpKoLMGUN8OgL-V534dSEyjpQ/edit?usp=sharing Camera Mount: The camera mount I made consists of small segments that link together. There are three versions available: one using M3 nuts and bolts, another using M4, and a final one using M5. Each size also has a respective mounting part that attaches to the X stepper motor (whether or not it is flipped), as well as a rotation segment that allows you to rotate the end point where the camera would mount. I did create any specific camera mounts; however, I used GoPro-sized joints, so any camera mount compatible with GoPro products will work. This camera mounting system for the Prusa I3 MK3 can be used as more of a starting point for mounting your camera. Note: Since I do not have a Prusa MK3 to show what it would look like in real life, I created various renders that depict how the different parts can be used.
