Qidi X-Max Raspberry Pi Camera rev2.2 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). The design allows the mounting of the Raspberry Pi Camera (C) Rev 2.2 on the top of the door frame of the Qidi X-Max. It allows to choose between 4 different orientations of the camera. The preferred orientation is with the flex cable to the top. This required a software rotation by 180 degree to avoid upside down images in OctoPi. There are two versions of this design. The original one has the camera lense at the same height as the printing bed when the first layer is printed. The second version moved up the lense up by roughly 3mm. This allows to see more of the first layers when the print started is also an extreme tight fit. It might require additional post-processing to correctly mount the camera modul. 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 There is [another design](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4825218) from [ioio72](https://www.thingiverse.com/ioio72) which might be useful for other 3d printer brands.
