Arducam 5MP 2020 Mount

This design is for mounting a Raspberry Pi Camera to 2020 extrusion.

The particular camera I have and this design is based on is the Arducam 5MP.

Printing the Parts

The Camera Angle Adapter needs to be oriented so that it's printed on one of the larger flat faces touching the build plate.

The Lens Mount needs to be oriented so that the face is facing down on the build plate.

The 2020 Mount and Lens Clamp can be printed as oriented in the stl file.

Parts were designed and printed with PLA. You could print the Lens Clamp from TPU for better clamping pressure if wanted. I don't see the need.

Hardware Required

1 M5x8 bolt

1 M5 T-nut for extrusion

4 M3x16 bolts

Assembly

The bolt holes are 2.5 mm and can be tapped for the M3 bolts. The holes that need to be tapped are the two in the Lens Clamp, the horizontal (long) hole in the Camera Angle Adapter, and the small hole in the 2020 Mount.

The camera is placed in the camera mount. The 4 small pins should go into the holes on the camera. The lens clamp can then be bolted on just tight enough to keep the camera from moving.

The angle adapter can be mounted to the lens mount in either direction depending on where you need more clearance.

The angle adapter can then be bolted to the 2020 mount. You can either bolt it above or below the 2020 mount, but be aware that you may not be able to get the M5 bolt into the hole if the angle adapter is bolted to the top.

I used a t-nut to hold the assembly to the 2020, but you could probably use a hammer nut too.

You can get longer bolts and use locknuts if you don't like threading the plastic parts and bolting directly.
