RaspberryPi Cam NoIR with IR-LEDs mount for Rigidbot

thingiverse

A Custom Mount for Raspberry Pi Cam NoIR with IR-LEDs from Ebay is Available Now! Designed specifically for Rigidbot printers, this innovative mount enables the camera module to follow the X-carriage up and down while printing. The hollow arm allows video-cable and LED power-cable passage through it, then onto a metal bar where rods are attached. Later on, another cable chain will be installed on the opposite side to manage all cables neatly. However, all parts have undergone slight modifications for better performance compared to previous versions. **Important Instructions** Before printing, please exercise caution when using Cura slicer due to its limitations in internal dimension recognition. Consider utilizing an alternative slicer like Simplify3d for precise fits within printed components. The mount should be oriented with the rounded side facing down while printing the arm section. Additionally, printing with dual settings can enhance print quality; sample process files are included with this package. When inserting the ball component into its designated spot, gentle sanding may be necessary on its underside due to challenging spherical shapes. A perfectly snug fit ensures stable operation without excessive movement during camera navigation. Cable passage through metal bars might prove tricky but feasible nonetheless. It's essential to remove the X-motor side screws and rod holders for effortless access to cable management. Arrange cables so that both video-cable and power-cable sit on opposing sides of the rods to enable efficient reinstallation of holders afterwards.
