Nozzle view cam adjustable mount for Raspberry Pi Camera (Circular and Square)

UPDATE: just made a new version with other adjustments. Now the cam is a little more in a back position than before.

Hi all, I couldn't find a proper Pi camera mount with a real nozzle view so i made one by myself. In details this is a Raspberry Pi Camera mount with adjustable nozzle view along 3 axis, with X cable strain relief and motor cover.

I used a 5MP 1080p Pi cam with 160° FoV lens (OV5XXX module from AliEx) for a full bed view but i've made a different front cover to fit other 2 pi cameras (one is the one with v1.3 on the back of the module).

Also, the design is fully modular: camera holder and the bracket are detachable from the Z motor cover so it's easier do to remixes.

It's originally designed for Prusa Mini but i think it can fit any NEMA 17 motor, maybe you'll have to do some adjustments. 

What you need:

• for the camera's case:
• Pi camera (obv): i used a OV5647 module with 160 ° FoV lens (10€ from AliEx);
• 4x 2.5x6 screws;
• 2x zip ties;
• for the mount and bracket:
• 1x M3x6 screw;
• 1x M3x2 screw.

Print instruction: 

-Printed in PETG; (PLA not recommended since the cam can be very near to the source of heat… i haven't tested it)

-4 perimeters;

-infill 20%

-0.25mm layer height. (i've printed also with 0.15mm and the bracket is a lot more smooth but same functionality as the previous so your choice…)

- REQUIRED: intelligent supports on the “pi_cam_support” stl (see photo below)

Instructions:

1. assembly the Pi camera case with 4x 2.5x6 screws;
2. place the mount on the Z motor and secure it (and the X axis cable strain relief) with zip ties;
3. place the bracket (M3x6);
4. insert the pi camera;
5. adjustate the view;
6. moving the axes with hands, be sure the camera doesn't impact against the hotend (and the ZX brace if you have one), then do a homing a make sure that there are no impacts.
7. (adjustate the view;)
8. secure with M3x2 screw.
