Raspberry Pi IR Camera Mount - 130deg

thingiverse

I created this project to avoid having a light on in the room while printing. To achieve this, I'm using an infrared camera that comes equipped with its own lighting. The model I chose is the Raspberry Pi 3 Night Vision Fisheye Camera 5MP OV5647 130 Degree Focal Adjustable Camera for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus, which can be found on Aliexpress at https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32932807062.html. The original design that inspired my project was the "Raspberry Pi IR Camera Mount" by MonkeyBear. While it had the correct openings for the lights, they were spaced too far apart. I made some adjustments to fix this issue and create a more functional mount. To add a mounting system compatible with the bed mount used on my Ender 3 Pro, I incorporated elements from the "T-slot V-slot Universal camera mount :CR10, tevo tornado, ender 3 logitech c270 c920, picamera, gopro, action camera , prusa mk3, others" design. This allowed me to create a seamless connection between the two mounts. The result is a well-functioning system that connects with the Creality Ender 3 mount found on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2999957. The second image showcases how effectively this setup works.
