How to rigidly mount camera in RaspiCam insert v2? about uc2-git HOT 6 CLOSED

Hey! Thanks for reaching out! The photo you showed is indeed a bit misleading since the rendering indicates an error in the assembly. Once the components are printed it should fit. If you follow this link you'll see how the camera module has to be assembled. The printed insert is "pushed" into the cube (e.g. press-fit or form-fit). You need a set of two screws to mount the Raspi-Camera.

Is this somehow clear?

Thanks for the reply.

The components do fit together, that is not the issue. Rather, the issue is that this is "too easy" -- there is substantial play of the insert within the cube. You say these are press-fit or form-fit but at least on my print, there is substantial play. This play is reduced when I insert screws into the cube and the threads of the screws touch the corners of the insert. For what it is worth, with this degree of play, I would not calibrate the camera as I think the camera would shift enough to give substantial error.

We have a Prusa i3 mk3. The template is a good idea for holding things more steady. I think I would just physically join the two pieces to be one piece at the 3D model level to hold it really steady.

Thanks again.

So all good for now? :)
