Description

I wanted to mount Raspberry Pi camera to the 1515 frame of my Kossel mini. I like the design of "Raspberry Pi Camera Mount for 2020 Extrusions" by @TheOddArtisan but it is for a different (2020) extrusion profile and requires a nut and a bolt.

So I recreated the drop-in twist-in lock I saw in the amazing "1515 extrusion twist in wire clips" by @warpster and added a 10mm diameter ball that I can mount TheOddArtisan's camera holder to.

It all worked from the first try.

It would be nice to to clean up and post the lock system separately. Internally the model is fully parametric and it should be easy to adapt to different sizes of extrusions, different attachments etc. Not sure when it would happen, though. In the meantime the lock model is available in the source code of this thing, just a little buried and a little rough.
