PI Camera Support for 20MM Rail (Holes for Dorhea PI Camera)

Simple design Raspberry PI camera mount for the 20 MM extrusion rail of most budget 3D printers. Each part prints in ~1 hour or less. Depending on the desired configuration, needs:

• 4 to 6 M3x8 screws,
• one M3x20 screw,
• 2 M3 T-nuts,
• 3 to 5 M3 nuts, and
• 4 to 7 M3 washers.
• Plus some string or insulated wire to secure the camera to the swivel.

There are two stl files named reupload. I had reports that the originals were corrupt and wouldn’t open. Hopefully the reuploaded files will work.

It's so simple to print even I could do it, please post makes! :)

Notes:

Configurable, depending on needs you can use:

* just one vertical elevation post and swivel, * one post + horizontal beam + swivel, * two posts + swivel, or * two posts + horizontal beam + swivel.

Other notes:

• Holes in the swivel camera backplate approximately match the Dorhea PI camera (Amazon product code B07DNSSDGG). Can use string, insulated wire, or mini metal screws to secure to the plate.
• For strength print rail adapter and horizontal extension beam with concentric first layers and maybe some ironing to improve appearance.
• V2 rail adapter is slightly more aesthetically pleasing but I have not printed or tested it for strength.
• Compensate for any over-extrusion so that the nuts fit the hex holes (but not too loose).
• The two print in place swivel parts will be slightly stuck at the very bottom as each serves as printing support for the other. Use an Exacto or side snip to encourage the two parts to separate.
• The swivel has line-on-line friction so it doesn't require a lot of tightening to maintain the camera angle.
• The bolts and washers are mounted from underneath so it's best to connect all parts first before mounting onto the rail.
