I came around with the idea to access my 3D printer remotely. Until then I had to sit in front of my desktop computer and print via Cura.

Here is, how it ended…

I found the Octopi project on the internet and ordered a Raspberry Pi 4 on the same day. After I hold everything in my hands I started to build up the “Octopi server”.

Octopi has a nice feature: “Timelapse”. So you can make a timelaps video of the print. To get this running I used a Pi Cam, I had bought some time ago. But the question was: How to mount everything?

So, a few clicks later I found this one:

• prodals Raspi holder

After a few prints I realized that the cam position was not optimal. Both, the print head and the bed were moving. So the timelapse video was too bumpy.

Again, some clicks later I found this

• nobikkos bed mount

At the end I made a remix of prodals Raspi holder cam mount and nobikkos bed mount. So, if you want to print this you need the cam case from prodals Raspi holder.

Here, the STL file

Here the print from the old bumpy perspective:

Now, with the new Pi cam mount:

Doesn’t look bumpy at all now…

Here is the Pi cam holder on:

• Thingiverse
• Cults3D
• Pinshape
