Raspberry Pi camera mount for Ender 5

thingiverse

This is a very slim basic camera mount for the Ender 5. Since the bed moves down instead of the extruder, and the X/Y carriage makes the sides unusable, I designed a very slim mount to put directly in front of the extruder. The mount includes a section for a very small LED strip to light the bed. Used a wide angle camera to capture as much of the print as possible. Should be good for most small to medium size prints.

Update 2/1/21: I found mounting the light on the inside of the front rail was causing me to lose too much build volume when couple with the Hero Me so I built this simple little bracket to mount from the outside of the frame and to look down a bit. Just bolt the mount onto the bracket instead of the frame.
