Raspberry Pi Camera Mount using HDMI Port (Ender 3 Design Included)

thingiverse

Hook up a Raspberry Pi camera with a sturdy adjustable arm using the HDMI port as a mount, regardless of whether you're using any Raspberry Pi case or just a naked Pi. This versatile mount can be used with any Raspberry Pi case or without one at all. I'm showcasing the Ender-3 mountable case for completeness' sake. I was drawn to the idea of using an adjustable arm to hold the Raspberry Pi Camera, so the [Raspberry Pi case with Pi Camera for CR-10](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3079477) design caught my attention. However, I wanted to use a Raspberry Pi Case that fits under the control box of the Ender 3, which is this one: [Ender 3/Cr-10 Raspberry Pi Case with PiCam Slot](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3026059) Since these two designs weren't compatible, I had to come up with a way to use the armature of the first design with the case of the second. So I designed an HDMI plug that adapts to the adjustable arm design, allowing the HDMI port to be used as a mounting point for the arm. I further remixed the original design by redesigning the arms to make them longer and more compatible, eliminating the need for supports during printing. Two additional connector types have also been added for maximum flexibility. There are two HDMI plug versions, with the difference being the orientation of the connection point to the arm for greater adaptability. I'm sharing this in hopes that it's useful to someone as I've found it helpful myself. Thank you to the designers of the original designs that I remixed! Check them out in the remix sources section.
