PiSphere: RaspberryPi 5-based time-lapse camera for 360° images

Overview

This project is for creating a time-lapse camera that captures 360° images using a RaspberryPi 5.

The camera is designed to be powered by a small solar panel or battery and to operate intermittently using an RTC (Real-Time Clock) to power the device only during shooting times.

Print Settings

• Using ASA (or ABS) is highly recommended for the MountForBCAP151509G for durability and toughness.
• I used PolyLite ASA filament with 20% Gyroid infills.
• No supports is required except for the insulock hole of MountForBCAP151509G.
