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.
