<p>I made this camera mount for my Prusa Mini+ and 5MP Arducam (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0867C9SZP)</p><p>Thanks to @andimoto I used a similar way to mount to the nozzle fan.</p><p>This camera plugs directly into a Raspberry Pi running OctoPi and The Spaghetti Detective. &nbsp;It is able to focus very close to the nozzle. &nbsp;You may want a longer ribbon cable between the camera and the Pi.</p><p>NOTES:</p><ul><li>I printed with Prusament PETG and used supports. &nbsp;It printed well without any further tweaking.</li><li>To assemble, loosen the PINDA screws and sandwich the lower part of the mount in between the fan and the PINDA mount. &nbsp;The screw was a bit short but was just able to reach the threads. &nbsp;Be careful not to strip the threads. &nbsp;You may want to drill open the lower hole of the camera mount just a little bit to help with alignment.</li><li>The upper screw is optional, but I found it helped stiffen up the assembly. &nbsp;I used an M3 screw and did not tighten it much.</li><li>Don't forget to readjust the first layer calibration. &nbsp;After messing with the PINDA sensor it is very likely to be out of calibration.</li><li>Make sure that that the camera mount does not hit the build plate. &nbsp;In my case, it was VERY close but just cleared.</li></ul><p>Please ignore the dirty nozzle!</p><p>Next step is to add some better lighting. &nbsp;A LED mount off the build plate is next.</p>
