• x5 M5 Bolts 12mm length
• x1 M5 bolt or screw – 20 or 24mm length (Hex or Phillips head)

Optional Materials Required:

• More M5 T Nuts for 3030 Rail (for zip tie mounts to run cable)
• More M5 bolts (for zip tie mounts)

Components and other materials: 

• Power cable for ESP32-CAM
• x1 ESP32-CAM module
• a way to program the ESP32-CAM
• Zip ties

Printed Parts Required: (for Left Mounted ESP32-CAM)

• x1 FlexMount Logo Left
  • “load” XL Text Left onto Logo in slicer for multicolor
  • FLXMNT Text Left onto Logo in slicer for multicolor
• x1 SideBlockLeft
• x1 SwivelBlockLeft
• x1 ESP Case Left Side Standoff

Printing suggestions:

• 0.2mm Layer height
• 0.4mm nozzle
• PETG or can use PLA
• Some models may need to be re-oriented (photos show correct orientation)

Install Suggestions:

• Connect as seen in photos. 
• The side blocks are the non-threaded variants of the swivel blocks.
• When going to thread the bolts; First, thread the bolt in and then remove the bolt. This will help with cleaning up the threads to accept the bolts easier when doing final assembly.

Software:

• I used a slightly modified ESP32-CAM example file. If interested I can upload that. Otherwise, there are plenty of tutorials on the ESP32-CAM.
• Plan to eventually create code tailored for this project when I have the time.

Future:

• I have a few ideas that coincide with this design; I plan to work on add-ons.

Let me know how it works for you, enjoy!
