Raspberry Pi Camera Mount for FT-5 or any 2020 extrusion

thingiverse

In conjunction with http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1867512 , the cradle for a Raspberry Pi 3 set up required a mount for the Raspi camera that would fit perfectly on the top 2020 extrusion of the Folger Tech FT-5. This mount and snaps securely into place, holding the camera at an ideal angle to view the build surface. The design accommodates the http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:472028 camera case, despite its specifications indicating compatibility with the NOIR version - it actually works seamlessly with any camera model. Having previously installed the Volcano hot end with a 0.8 mm nozzle and using ESUN PLA+, which is incredibly strong and flexible, allowed for a smooth snap-in installation. A postscript note: To enhance the view of the nozzle, I tilted the holder back by 5 degrees, an adjustment now reflected in the updated files. Furthermore, to maximize the view from the middle rail rather than the top rail, I added another 5 degrees, resulting in what is now referred to as the revised version.
