Tom's Raspberry Pi Camera Mount V4 + (optional) LED Mount V1

thingiverse

My first project in Fusion 360 is a remote control system for your 3D printer, suitable for all Raspberry Pi owners using OctoPi or 3DPrinterOS. With this setup, you can monitor your printing job from anywhere - computer, tablet, or mobile device. To do so, you'll need a mount for your standard camera or the Pi NoIR infrared camera. If you're using an infrared camera, you may also require an IR LEDs mount for printing in dark rooms. Both components are connected by short pieces of filament, as detailed in the Instructions below. Note: The Raspberry Pi case is not my creation; instead, you can choose from various models available for 3D printing. UPDATE 160202: I've added a second version of the camera mount with a more vertical slot for better visibility when your Pi is positioned low near the printer. This new angle allows you to see higher models without distortion. UPDATE 161128: By reversing the mount in the GPIO slot, you can achieve a different camera angle if desired. UPDATE 170527: If you're interested in creating a version for your Raspberry Pi Zero (W) with Zebra Case, please check out my remix on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2348881 To get started: * A Raspberry Pi with an original camera (standard or NoIR) * A case featuring an open GPIO slot to serve as the mount's base * A working 3D printer without support material requirements * Two short pieces of 1.75mm filament * An optional IR LEDs board like http://i.tvit.cz/PiIRLED for printing in complete darkness, using a 12V power source (costing approximately $4-$5)
