Parametric Box¶
The parametric design was first released in 2024. The design was hosted on Github earlier, but moved to this site to bundle all designs in one place.
3d printed photobooth
Features¶
- Compact design
- DSLR and picamera variants
- Led ring signaling countdown, record and capture using WLED
- 7" or 10" touchscreens supported
Variants¶
Variant in depth¶
There are two different depth variants:
- higher depth for DSLR
- lower depth for Pi camera setups.
Variant in width¶
There are two different width variants:
- wide that allows for 10" screens
- narrow that allows for 7" screens only
Download model¶
The recommended variants are provided as STEP file for direct 3d printing. STEP files can be imported in the Slicer and split into single objects before printing.
| Camera | Width | Depth | Screen | STEP file |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pi Camera | narrow | short | 7inch DSI LCD (C) | booth-100-000_picam-7inch |
| wide | short | 10.1DP-CAPLCD | booth-100-000_picam-10inch | |
| DSLR | narrow | deep | 7inch DSI LCD (C) | booth-100-000_dslr-7inch |
| wide | deep | 10.1DP-CAPLCD | booth-100-000_dslr-10inch |
If you want to modify the model, download the Solidworks files.
Material (BOM)¶
- Touchscreen:
- 7": 7inch DSI LCD (C) (DSI)
- 10": 10.1DP-CAPLCD (HDMI)
- RGB-LED Ring:
- for Raspberry cameras: 5V RGB LED Ring WS2812B, outer diameter 38mm inner diameter 27mm
- for DSLR: 24 Bits WS2812 5050 RGB LED Ring
- Threaded inserts: threaded inserts

Assembly¶
Unfortunately, there is no dedicated assembly description available. The design is provided as is. Best is to explore the design in a CAE tool prior printing. If you have specific questions, feel free to ask in the GitHub discussions.
