Raspberry Pi Camera Ball Mount Octoprint

This is a simple 3D printed ball mount to permanently mount a Raspberry Pi camera to a flat surface, e.g. the inside of a 3D printer enclosure. It can be mounted using double sided tape or screws. 

Additional hardware needed: 

• M3x16 bolt or longer
• M3 nut
• Optionally M3 washers 
• 4x M2x8 or M2x10 Bolts 
• 4x M2 Nuts
• Screws or double sided tape to attach the mount
• Raspberry Pi Camera 

Assembly: 

• Mount the Raspberry Pi camera to the camera part (the one with the ball) using the M2 bolts and nuts
• Attach the ball clamp part to the wall part using the M3 bolt, washers and nut
• Before tightening the M3 bolt, place the ball between the call clamp and wall part
• Place the camera at the desired angle and tighten the M3 bolt and nut

Printing: 

I printed my parts in PLA without support material. If the “ball clamp” part is printed standing upright, it’ll need a generous brim.
