Anet A8 Raspberry Pi Cam Holder

Last crawled date: 7 years, 3 months ago

I modified the screwless raspi cam mount by DanielBull to be mountable (with one screw) on the Anet A8. I also modified the cam case that fits the M12 raspi cam hack. Further I modified the back cover, because the original design scraped off some SMD parts of the cam. I only tested this design for the original Rev1.3 raspbbery pi cam. If you want to use it with another cam module, check the differences of the dimensions before you print this thing.

You need following parts for vanilla raspberry camera:

camera_holder_bracket_for_anet_a8.stl
camera_mount_front_by_DanielBull.stl
camera_mount_back_more_space.stl
camera_mount_hinge_by_DanielBull.stl
You need following parts for raspberry camera with M12 hack:

camera_holder_bracket_for_anet_a8.stl
camera_mount_front_m12.stl
camera_mount_back_more_space.stl
camera_mount_hinge_by_DanielBull.stl
You can mount the holder on each of the 2 outer holes on the back of the printer:

top left hole for the Anet A8 Board (picture). The M3 screw should be 4mm longer
left hole of the bottom left hole of the Anet A8 board. You need a M3x16+mm screw + M3 nut and a washer (optional)
same on the opposite side, where the power supply is mounted.
You can also use this screwless mount for the Anet A8 by OlliMakes instead of camera_holder_bracket_for_anet_a8.stl:

Depends on how far away your raspberry pi is from the camera, you may need a longer ribbon cable: https://goo.gl/8y9xqR
For the M12 hack, I used the lens + lens mount + lens cover from this arduino module: https://goo.gl/hfU63k
