I’ve been saying for a while that we’d like to start offering our own camera mounts. In October, one of our users, Neil Rosenberg, sent me a link to a design he made and posted on Thingiverse (it’s here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3891092).
I liked the design enough that I made one of my own, using his as a visual guide, partially as a way of learning Fusion. I widened the lens hole and board channel enough to accommodate our wider lenses, and made a couple other design tweaks, like an internal lip to keep the board from sliding. We’re still tweaking a little, mostly to optimize for printing at this point.
Neil has graciously given me permission to run with it, so we’ll be offering 3d printed versions for sale for $30, and I’ll be putting the STL files up for anyone who’d like to print their own.
Note that these are currently for the 5MP cameras only, but I hope to produce a version for the 8MP soon.
I haven’t posted measurements, so you’re likely reading them from the Thingiverse page of Neil’s design, not ours.
Total assembled side is 90mm in length, 33mm high, and 20mm wide, if pointed vertically. The camera will stick out of the height slightly, a little more with the 120/140/160 degree lenses.
I have one designed and ready for the 8MP-95, but I haven’t got a 110 lens on hand to test if it will fit that one too, so holding off for the moment until I can verify that they’ll fit both. If you have an 8MP-95 and are keen to get one, send me a PM and I can send you a web invoice for one.
If anyone has the 8MP-110 and can measure the diameter of the lens for me, I could check based on that and get these up.
I’m pretty sure, but muy Vernier Is out of battery AND t’he curved lens surface makes a little tricky ti mesure. Let me cute a 18mm hole on
Mdf in the morning just to be sure before you make modifications and run the batch
Waiting for the new camera stock to arrive (fingers crossed for today) so I can measure them and verify accuracy. I have mounts already for the 8MP-95, but the 8MP-110 needs a wider opening for the lens. If you have a 95, PM me and I can send you a link for either the STL files or to purchase a printed one from us.
