RaspberryPi Cam NoIR with IR-LEDs mount for Rigidbot

A mount for a RaspberryPi Cam NoIR with IR-LEDs from Ebay,
designed to fit a Rigidbot, that will follow the X-carriage up and down while printing.

The arm is hollow to allow for the video-cable and LED power-cable to go through it and then through the metal bar the rods are attached to.
(I will then eventually mount a cable chain on the other side that will carry the cables)

(Note, All pictures is from a previous version of the mount, all part have been slightly altered to make it work better.)

Instructions

Caution. Cura doesn't do very well on internal dimensions when slicing for the Rigidbot. I recommend a different slicer for parts that need to fit in each other. I used a friends Simplify3d to slice all parts.

The arm should be printed standing up with the rounded side down.
(I printed the arm with 2 different settings in one go with simplify 3d, processettings is included with the files.)

The ball needs to sanded down a bit on the underside as it is hard to print a perfect sphere. But getting it to pop in place in the arm should still be hard so its not to loose when in place.

Getting the cable through the metal bar is kinda tricky but possible.
The lower side screws for the x-motor and the holders for the rods (part 1002) needs to be removed. the video-cable and the power-cable needs to be on different side of the rods to be able to get the holders back in place afterwards.
