Raspberry Pi CAM Mount with integrated cable management
Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
This camera mount is for the Raspberry Pi CAM.
The one thing I didn't like about this CAM is the ribbon cable and I wanted a solution that prevented the fragile cable from getting in the way or damaged.
This design has internal passages that hide and protect the cable before exiting at the rear of the beam connected to the base and under the printer to the Raspberry Pi. This was the third design iteration and it worked far better than I had hoped. The cable runs very smoothly without snagging even whilst articulating the arm. It's an optical illusion that the cable follows the "A frame" and was completely unintentional but looks quite good (well, I think so!!)
It's been a long time in the designing/making and resulted in many sacrifices to the 3D printing gods (see last picture!)
You will need 1 of each model although I printed an extra "RPi_CAM_BEAM_100mm_B_v4" to help level the CAM image.
The joints each use an M3 x 20mm Cap Head Screw and nut (design makes this nut captive to make adjustment easier).
The base clamp uses an M3 x 12mm Cap Head Screw and nut (also captive)
The base uses 4 off M4 x 12mm Cap Head Screws into hammerhead T nuts to suit the CR-10 extrusion rails.
The camera enclosure uses 4 off M2 x 8mm Cap Head Screws directly into preformed holes in the back cover.
31-AUG-2019 - EDIT
Added a shortened version of Beam "B" (60mm instead of 100mm).
Note - if you use the 90 degree elbow joint remix from Keln, you won't need my 90 Deg…
