Raspberry Pi Camera Holders

prusaprinters

<p>Here we have slide-together parts for mounting the Raspberry Pi Camera v2 without needing small fasteners to hold the camera circuit board. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p>The free-standing holder is using #10-24 carriage bolts and printed knobs that hold nuts. &nbsp;The knobs are from “Modular Mounting System by HeyVye on Thingiverse: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2194278”.">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2194278”.</a> &nbsp; The brackets slide onto the tabbed sides of the camera holder parts, and lock them together.&nbsp;</p><p>When loading the 3MF files into the Slicing program, choose the option to treat bodies as separate parts, and then select and orient each body so the larger flat side is on the bed. &nbsp;Supports are not needed. &nbsp;In the slicer you can duplicate the “piCameraBracket” and the horizontal stand brace to make two of each of them. &nbsp;STEP export files are provided for customization.</p><p>My only experience has been with printing PETG with default settings for the 0.20mm QUALITY setting. &nbsp;I've obtained consistent excellent results in the sliding fits and locking of the tabs. &nbsp;I have used this tab and groove scheme with other case designs.</p><p>Angled brackets are provided which fit certain metal servo brackets sold on Amazon. &nbsp;As seen in the photo, they are designed so that a pi camera can be mounted below a web camera sharing the same servo stand. &nbsp;There are holes and recesses for standard #4-40 hardware spaced 17mm apart. &nbsp;I filed and rounded a front corner of the metal servo bracket to extend the servo motion range.</p><p>Update - the “tripodBracket” part has been added to the project. &nbsp;With the addition of a ¼-20 standard hex nut, a camera can be mounted to a standard photography tripod using this part, plus the angled brackets, and the case halves.</p>
