Description
Most people use the Raspberry Pi + Pi Camera setup for their Octoprint… but I had a spare Odroid XU4 laying around. Trying to find a camera similar to the Pi Cam, I stumbled onto ELP cameras. Similar footprint to Pi Cam, and pretty cheap. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KA80N9U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ← this is the one that I purchased. So I designed an adapter to fit onto the awesome articulating camera mount by Sneaks.
This case/adapter should fit on most, if not all, the ELP cameras that are bare blue PBC. The description of the camera I linked has the footprint of the camera included in there. If you have an ELP camera, check the footprint and make sure that it is the same before proceeding to use this case.
You will need:
4 of M2x8 or M2x10 socket screws (both lengths work).
I printed mine out of ABS at first, then out of carbon fiber nylon (for the base) and polycarbonate (for the lid). Model tolerances fit both prints, even though ABS was slightly tighter to get the M2 screws in there. Printing in PETG or PLA will work plenty fine as well. The lid has a solid layer before the screw holes start, and you will need to punch it out with an allen key or whatever you have on hand (the M2 screw should do the trick as well, if you screw it in the opposite way to punch the filament out). Print the parts out in the same orientation that they are saved in.
.2mm layer height
3 perimeters
5 top, 5 bottom solid layers
25% gyroid infill
No supports
I have included the .step files for anyone that wants to make their own changes.
