It's probably more than is needed for the Pi camera, but it is very stable and produces much better time lapse results than the corner mount. This file may need supports, I printed without supports and got sagging on one of the arms.
This is a mashup of 3 things to make an optimized bed mount for the Creality CR-10 and Raspberry Pi Camera v2. Time-lapse videos are much improved by mounting the camera to the print bed on a moving Y-axis. I thank the creators of the original things.

The camera front and back were used unmodified. The mounting arm was modified in Sketchup and TinkerCAD to mount the camera case with a M3 screw and allow for sideways printing. I included the upright arm for what it's worth, but the sideways arm prints much faster.
Print settings
print camera front and back and one arm, sideways (recommended) or upright
20% infill
supports on mounting arm
Assembly
1 M3*16 screw (16mm is a tight fit, can go up to 20mm)
1 M3 nut
2 M3 washers
Drilling out the screw holes with a 3mm bit really helps with assembly. The tabs on the mounting arm can be considered fragile until the camera case is attached.
