The file 'Printrbot Simple Metal RPi Camera Bed Mount 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 3.7MB.

Summary

This mount attaches to the print bed so that objects stay motionless in timelapse videos. The design is snap together, requiring no hardware or tools. You can choose which arm file to print based on what side of the print bed you want to mount the camera (arm_flipped.stl is the one in my photo). I also printed "tiltArm.stl" at 95% to get a snug fit.

Here is a video of the resulting timelapse:

There is a large hole in front of the camera that accommodates this $3 wide angle cell phone lens:

To make this thing I mashed together these three wonderful projects.

EDIT Jan. 22, 2015: I added arm_reinforced.stl which adds more support to the arm part to reduce camera wobble. If you need it flipped, you can flip the part in your slicer.
