If you’ve got the camera … however, you wish a case or mount to place it! If you have got access to a 3D printer, things suddenly get a lot of fascinating. Hence, you’ll use them with the ever standard print software system and monitor your prints. Therefore, use it for your fancy DIY monitor.

Here, it is the best 3D printed Raspberry Pi camera case.

Raspberry Pi Camera Mount with Ball Joint for Reprap

This is specially designed to mount on a Prusa i2, RepRap pro or similar. The mount on a Raspberry Pi camera with a ball joint is for extra flexibility.

Enclosure for Raspberry Pi Camera V2 with a hole on the bottom to accept a tripod thread

This is the raspberry pi camera module fitted inside a 3d printed enclosure. Therefore, mounted to a 3d printed tripod. This simple design is easy to 3d print and takes a few minutes to put together.

You can use a Swivel-Head Adapter to adjust the position of the camera with a free range of motion. Hence, it locks in place with a side screw. You’ll need a few machine screws and other camera bits to assemble this project along with the 3D printed parts and raspberry pi camera module.

Tom’s Raspberry Pi Zero Camera Mount for Zebra Case V1

This is a remix version of Tom’s Raspberry Pi Camera Mount V4 + (optional) LED Mount V. Therefore, as we know, things are getting smaller and smaller. So for this, we need Pi Camera mount for Rasberry Pi Zero (W) in Zebra Case.

The Mountster: a Raspberry Pi Camera Mount

The Mountster is a monster mount for the Raspberry Pi Camera. Hence, you can screw the cam to print using the two holes on the side of the lens. Also, there is an opening for the focus light.

Raspberry Pi Camera to Microscope Adapter

These two pieces fit together in order to adopt a Raspberry Pi Camera to a Celestron microscope. The first piece (rectangular one) fits the Raspberry Pi camera, while the second piece (cylindric tube) fits the microscope. Hence, two pieces snap together.

After a long time of use and you have become a master of the printer, you can unleash your creativity to do as many modifications as you like.

Today I would like to share with you some of the best mods and hacks on geeetech prusa I3 pro you do want to miss. These mods and hacks can be used on most of our Prusa I3.

These designs are all created by Luca Benedetto who is a Maker, Designer, and Engineer from Italy.

Let’s take a look at his amazing designs:

1. Underbody of Geeetech prusa I3 pro B.

“The option I’ve taken to block my printer on a wood bed suggests I re-design the underbody protection to put a couple of locking points backmost on the printer.
You can find a couple of alternative components to fit underbody also if you have already installed the Y-Chain, or if you do not desire to install the Y-Chain!” said Luca

2. control board case

Here is the Arduino Box to protect the brain of our printer!
Just before my original customization Geeetech introduced a new mainboard the GT2560, “bigger” and cannot enter in the old Arduino Box, so the new one has been designed to support both boards!

3. Extruder End

The heat of this period led me to restore the previous design of the air duct from the accessory fan, controlled by D9 … the question of artwork with the tilted fan to 45 °, which in its first incarnation was disturbing a hair on the transmission wire problem that this latest version does not have, and it forced me to not turn on the fan before layer 4 because otherwise, I was getting cold to the piece, but given the current temperatures better too cool, you can turn off!

It is often said that the youth of today are the future. This is accurate in just about on every regard, and considering the nature of how linear time works, it would be difficult to find someone that doesn’t find truth in the statement. The more I follow 3D printing however, the more I become convinced that today’s youth are capable of innovating just fine right here in the present.

Whether its a 17 year old’s low-cost SLS 3D printer, a 15 year old innovating in the field of robotics or another pushing the boundries of mind-control, the youth of today don’t seem to want to wait for their chance to make a difference.

So when a 12-year old tinkerer went ahead and made a 3D printer using a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kit and a low-cost 3D printing pen, I was barely even surprised. And while it’s doubtful it’ll be able to produce intricate 100 micron models at blistering speed with incredible accuracy any time soon, it still offers a really cool, think-outside-the-lego-box approach to creating a 3D printer.

Too young to even sign up for Instructables himself (his mom made the account for him) the contraption is based on motors moving around the extruding pen in three-dimensional space (x/y/z) while following the basic rules of just about every 3D printer out there today.

Even though the build instructions include everything you need to complete the project, a lot is left up to interpretation. So the perfectionist might feel a little frustrated regarding how exactly things work with steps such as “Add another very smooth connector between the two small pillars. Basically make the structure sturdy by adding support where ever necessary using Lego/K’NEX pieces.” But heck, if it works it works and the visual aides provided should suffice in assisting you in building a similar 3D printer of your own.

Additionally, technical purists might be brought to tears when trying to figure out the tension required and how much tape to use for instructions like “on the ring, create an obtruded part, such that the part touches the button to start the 3D printing pen. On the other side of the ring, attach a piece of yarn that will go to the other edge of the prism and ultimately to the motor. The motor will have the string taped to its axle.” But again, with a little effort and tinkering, everything you need to reproduce the 3D printer is made available.

At the end of the day, the the goal was to create a working 3D printer with Lego (and some K’NEX) and that’s exactly what useramoghp succeeded in doing. Sure, the software used was primitive (Minstorms EV3 Home Edition) and the results remain a work in progress (it is difficult to determine how many layers completed on the only provided sample 3D print) but for a 12-year old hoping to win the site’s current 3D printing contest in the youth category (you can vote for him at the top right of his Instructable), I think he accomplished everything and then some.

Build my own 3D printer? yes,  i am going to share with you a step- by-step instruction on how to build your own 3d printer.

when it comes to DIY 3d printer, what comes into my mind is prusa I3 series or the delta rostock series, yes, these two types of 3d printer are the most famous and easy 3d printers for DIYers, especially starters in 3d printing. so today, we will take our prusa I3 pro B as an example. 

of cause, you must have one 3d printer  http://www.geeetech.com/acrylic-geeetech-i3-pro-b-3d-printer-kit-p-917.html

Preparation

1. Unpack the kit and check if all parts are in the box and check the condition of each part, there might be some damage during shipping. To help you with this, there is BOM in the box and each bag was labeled with part number. 

2. Contact our customer service immediately by email or through the website if you find any missing or damaged parts. And on the bottom of the BOM, there is a signature of reviewer, please take a picture of it and attach the picture in your mail. 

3. Read through each chapter of these instructions to gain an over-all idea of what is involved and how long it might take, before starting on the work described.

4. Before you start, you can put all the part in order to save your time especially those screws and nuts. Do not mix them up. 

5. Ensure you have the necessary skills to carry out the work, or enlist the help of someone who does.

6. Work on a big firm table or bench in a clean dry well-lit area.

7. This kit contains tiny parts; please keep them away from kids under 3.

8. Ask for help if you run into any problems – our contact details are on the website and we will always do our best to resolve any problems encountered.

 1 Unfold the box and check the package

Unfold the package and take all the parts out to check the condition of the items. As you can see, all the parts are packed very carefully.

  All the acrylic plate has been etched with part ID and the plate is covered with a sheet of kraft paper, you need to tear them off. 

 Tips:

1. Before assembly, you are advised to put all the parts, especially the screws and nuts in order, which will save you a lot of time looking for the required parts.

2 Assemble Y axis 

2.1 Assemble the rods of a Y axis

Step1. Assemble the 2 threaded rods.
