Adjustable camera tilt mount: parametric template

Parameters

Open in the editor opens the design with these defaults; change them afterwards in Modify › Parameters, and everything that depends on them follows. Opened from the editor’s template library instead (New ▾ › New from template…), the template asks for its values first and checks them against these ranges and against each other, and Copy link gives an address that opens it with your values.

Notes

Two parts: the base with its ears, and the tilting plate. The tongue goes between the ears on an M3 x 20 screw through the pivot holes (a nyloc nut sets the friction), and a second M3 screw through the tongue rides in the arc slots: loosen it, set the angle, tighten. The slot covers -20 to 60 degrees; the Tilt angle parameter shows the plate at the angle you want, so you can check clearances before printing.

The camera holes default to the Raspberry Pi Camera Module 2/3 pattern (21 x 12.5 mm, M2 - the 2.2 mm holes take M2 self-tapping screws); change them for an ESP32-CAM, a ToF sensor or any small board. The arm is lengthened automatically if the plate would hit the ears at the lowest angle.

Print the base on its plate and the tilting part on its side (the tongue flat), so the pivot holes are round and the layers run along the arm.
