Rasp. Pi Door Mount for QIDI X-Max

thingiverse

This is a straightforward Raspberry Pi Mount that securely attaches to the door of a QIDI X-Max. The mount takes advantage of the door frame's ample clearance, so it doesn't hinder opening or closing the door in any way. It was specifically designed to work with an Inland wide angle (fish eye) camera I purchased at Microcenter. It may also be compatible with other wide angle cameras, but that hasn't been tested yet. This mount is designed to hold the impressive Raspberry Pi Case:\r\n\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3723561\r\n\r\nWhat I appreciate about the mount:\r\n- The camera is positioned under the built-in LED lights, minimizing glare.\r\n- No holes were needed in my QIDI X-Max case.\r\n- The camera is nearly in the optimal position to record prints. \r\n- Self-contained, everything is mounted on a single bracket. It simply lifts off.\r\n- The camera ribbon cable is shielded from the door frame.\r\n\r\nWhat could be improved:\r\n- It would be better if the camera was positioned higher since you can't really see the first few important layers. This could be achieved with a redesign of the camera case. Probably just a simple clip to hold the board would be sufficient.\r\n- In the end, I don't really need a hinge on the camera case.\r\n- The design could be more visually appealing... this is definitely function over form!
