Qidi X-Max Raspberry Pi Camera rev2.2 + LED mount

thingiverse

This mount is a design based on the principles shown in the [Qidi X-Plus X-Max Octoprint Raspberry Pi Camera Bracket](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4558596) by [cwills7](https://www.thingiverse.com/cwills75). It extends [my original remix](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5264628) with LED mounting wings. They are aligned with the camera orientation and make it possible to see the initial layers when the print just started. This was not possible with the old design - the original light source in the printer always created shadows on top of the print because the print head was most of the time between the LEDs and the print itself. It allows the mounting of the Raspberry Pi Camera (C) Rev 2.2 on the top of the door frame of the Qidi X-Max. Two different orientations of the camera are possible. The preferred orientation is putting the flex cable to the top - requiring a software rotation by 180 degree to avoid upside down images in OctoPi. Additional materials required: * raspberry pi with 15-pin MIPI camera interface (CSI) * 1m flex cable for 15-pin MIPI camera interface (CSI) * 2x short M2 screws for mounting the camera * 1x long (>= 8mm) M2.5 screw for securing it to the inside of the door frame * (optional) foam tape as soft (stabilizing) layer between the door frame and the mounting block * (optional) tape to secure the flex cable inside the 3d printer * [CoP LEDs](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08S435SXV) * [DC-DC Buck converter as LED driver](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B086W79QQ8) * [Wire](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B085TPC8GZ) * Soldering iron + solder * (optionally) some screw terminals Please make sure to you a head resistant filament because the LEDs can get rather hot. ASA seems to work fine for us.
