Anycubic Mega Raspberry Pi4B and camera compact hoder by IJK_CZ

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

My aim was to design a compact holder for Raspberry Pi4B and attached camera, this is a fourth version which cover my needs. The holder is modified for mount on right side ramp, where is also the USB connection. The Raspberry case is now integrated into camera holder. The size is desinned for usage original camera cable.
There are two versions of camera case - with space for 3 LED diodes (standard element of LED strips) or without it. The LED is powered directly from Anycubic Power source (12V is okay).
The Raspberry case can be easily remount from holder. After mounting, the hole in case bottom is closed by simple cover to protect the desk.
If the holder is used on Anycubic Mega S in low position, there is necessary temporary unmount the filament holder and return back after clicking the holder on the frame. Then the Raspberry with camera can be plugged in into holder and camera placed on its position.
Who prefer 'Bird's-eye view', can place the holder much higher on the ramp.
I am using a simple small passive aluminium colder on Raspberry processor and there is no problen with it, the PSU temperature is about 55C.
In the Raspberry case top is additional hole, used to conect GPIO pin, which I am using for Anycubic PSU control.
LEDs are on, when is on the Anycubic Power source, I do not needed a separate control for it.
SD card reader on printer is still simple accessible, as well as SD card slot on Raspberry.
Also HDMI ports have good access, if you need it.
Raspberry is conected to camera (flat cable), to printer (USB cable) and to its own power source, placed in Anycubic mega base, where is lot of space. Here is also a single relay module, controlling for me the Anycubic Power source. But you can of course use standard Raspberry power box outside of Anycubic printer. You can see the used Meanwell power source and relay module on my photos from montage. The holder for Mosfet, Power source and Relay is not part of this design.
All parts were printed from PLA (PETG would be also fine), 0,2mm layer, no support, 25% infill.
