Raspberry Pi Camera Mount - ring magnet & M4x6mm

thingiverse

A mount for the IR raspberry pi camera, minus the IR LEDs. Simple to attach anywhere to a metal frame. I prefer the Z carriage on my i3, so the camera rises as the Z axis does. I target the top of the print, so it's always in center frame. Rotate fairly freely to desired angle. Pulls away if anything snags it. Simple and stupid. I've tried to find the ideal camera attachment for a long time, this is just my way of giving up and going for the simplest possible solution I can think of at this point in time. Needs: - 1x M4 button capped bolt, the black high-tensile ones (the shiny ones aren't very magnetically useful). - 1x Neodymium magnet N50 10mm x 3mm & 3mm countersunk hole. Or several for additional holding force and offsetting the camera POV a bit. https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/sis.html?_nkw=Magnet+10+mm+X+3+mm+Countersunk+Hole%3A3mm+Rare+Earth+Neodymium+N50 - 4x M1.5 x 5mm self-tapping screws... or whatever size usually screws a raspicam into a housing. Herp Derp. Screw the M4 into the side of the housing, stick the magnet to something metal, stick the camera onto the magnet via the rounded bolt head, adjust angle. I have a square of innertube rubber between the printer frame and the magnet, to give it more friction and prevent it from sliding around.
