Description

This is an adjustable-height tripod with a down-facing ESP32-Cam box that also fits an MB Programmer Board inside it or a Wyze V4 Cam box. It is designed to be able to stream a TTRPG map from above. We have a group that plays D&D in person, but when someone can only join virtually, we needed a good way to show them the map. We didn't want to deal with cords trailing on the table or make the person online have an awkward angle on the map from a webcam, so I came up with this using several different items from Thingiverse and creating some parts as well. The idea is that an ESP32-Cam and programmer board or a Wyze V4 Cam, depending on what box you print, go inside the box and the battery goes on top (I'll probably attach the battery using some stick-on velcro). I also made some clamps that work with a narrow table (such as a folding table) so that we don't have to worry about hitting a tripod leg on the narrow table and knocking it off. It's almost possible to complete the build with only 3D-printed parts. Most non-printed things are optional; only the small bolts and nuts for the cam case are required. Optional non-print items: -Velcro to attach the battery to the top -Rubber stick-ons on the feet for extra slip protection -Padding inside the Wyze cam case (I made the case slightly large in order to place thin, stick-on padding inside so that the camera doesn't scrape or rattle) -Metal bolts and nuts for the legs instead of the 3D-printed ones I used PETG filament and printed most pieces with 15% infill, but I printed the bolts and nuts with 50% infill for extra strength. The map in the pictures is 23.5" x 26".
