Raspberry Pi Camera Stand/Mount

thingiverse

This is my raspberry pi camera stand. The print consists of 6 parts and you should print them all if you want my setup. Either use more reliable 3x25mm nuts and bolts (I used an M3 x 0.5 bolt) or print the hinge. You may need to use a drill or something else to make the hole a bit larger to fit the hole, but I found a 0.25 mm tolerance to work for most FDM printers, so this is what I used for my tolerances. I used atleberg's snap-fit cover and the hinges there (because modeling hinges in TinkerCAD is easy but boring) and added a lot of stuff. Please note: **Pi Camera Stand Model.stl is just for you to understand how it works. Don't print it, there's a 99.9% chance it will not work.** Try printing Hinges.stl with a smaller layer height so it fits easier. Most printers go up 0.04 mm per step, so try only layer heights with multiples of 0.04. You can try without it, it's still around the same, but a 0.28 mm layer height probably works a bit better than a 0.27mm layer height. I designed this model because although atleberg's design is awesome, I wanted to have more reach in my design. You have to tape the plate to a table after you are done, and this is why I made this so that you could get any angle from the camera than you need and can get it from a super-high angle. The Z-axis can be changed by taping the bar at a lower point on the table. Technically, this only works with cabinets since tables only have a thin piece of wood instead of the whole table being filled in, but it still works with tables. *This is a Work-in-Progress. Tell me if anything is wrong with the design and I will try my best to fix it.* Edit: If your printer is at the edge of the table, I added Y-axis movements so that if you have an Ender 3 Pro, like I do, or any printer with a moving bed and don't want the print bed to hit the camera, you can print the upgrades for that. Edit 2: I printed it out, and I found the tolerances were a bit small, so I posted the v2 links for the sliding parts below: Also, files you need are down below *Also also, this case doesn't fit the Pi v1.3.
