The file 'Raspberry Pi Camera Holder (TPU And PLA) On 10mm Square Flex Lamp Shaft. Now With Balljoint Option 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 1.8MB.
UPDATE 24 April24 added a second balljoint file with a longer shaft to give more angle of pivot
UPDATE 25March 24
The original worked well unless I needed the lamp in a different angle to the one the camera needed. I redesigned the TPU back to include a 10.2mm ball socket, and a press fit PLA back that has a 10.1mm diameter ball. This allows the camera angle to be adjusted to suit where the light is. The two new files have been added - print these and the original PLA body

My USB angle lamp has a 10mm square cross section frame and it was in the perfect position to hold a pi camera (for use with octoprint everywhere so I can track the progress of a 3d print).
This was my first make using TPU and that or similar stretchy filament is essential for this as the self locking clip needs to be opened out to fit onto the metal shaft. The camera holder is normal PLA and is just a push fit into the TPU back.
I've included two TPU back files, One needs supports (which are harder to remove with TPU); the other does not as the bottom edge is missing (where the cable comes out), so if printed with this edge upmost no supports are needed.
