I wanted to find a simple camera mount for my raspberry pi camera to use for octoprint but they all required me to purchase screws.

Here is a very simple camera that allows for camera pivot with no screws required.

I have provided multiple camera mount lengths which clip directly to the bar and 1 which fits into the pinhole at the top corners of the Ender frame. This should fit most standard rails. I only have an Ender 5 so I can't name other frames with standard rails. If you can verify it fitting, or not, on your frame let me know and I'll credit you in the notes. (try printing one of the smaller ones first to verify fit)

Everything is designed to be able to print without supports. You might be wondering why the triangles cut into the bar? No, it is not to reduce filament usage. It is actually there to create extra strength in the bar itself. Extra walls get created with that design and the walls themselves are supported by the triangle shape. I know the camera isn't heavy but that is no excuse for not creating a solid design. :-)

Post a make and show us what you have done!

Edit: hppyhckr confirms working on Ender 5 pro

Edit March 11, 2021: Added 3 short clips with different angles for mounting in hard-to-reach places, (requested by Wpnx330).

Also added an Extra Long bent piece with clips to hold the camera ribbon, for moving the camera over more of the build plate. (Inspired by the remix made of this by lwkalis)
