AllSky Case in two versions
Print Profile(3)



Description
Here is my AllSky camera housing in two versions. The "normal version" is intended for permanent installation, and the "mobile version" for short-term use (for example, on a tripod, while traveling)
The "Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera" (https://www.berrybase.de/raspberry-pi-high-quality-kamera-m12-mount) is installed as the camera module
Depending on the lens used and its size, the camera module can be installed internally (deep) or externally (high). The closer the lens of the objective is to the dome, the better, as this avoids/minimizes the risk of visible light reflections from the dome
M2 heat-set inserts and screws are used to mount the camera module and Raspberry Pi. Or M2.5, by pre-drilling the holes accordingly
I used this dome https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32952406365.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.63.1cf25c5fnt0umG&gatewayAdapt=glo2deu
The holes for the screws are precisely drilled using a drilling template (included in the print profile) and a 3mm drill bit
For fastening, M3 heat-set inserts and cylindrical screws are used, which pass through the lens hood, the dome, and the seal, as all components are screwed together
The bases have a "compartment" where a Shelly Plus Uni (https://www.shelly.com/products/shelly-plus-uni?_pos=1&_psq=uni&_ss=e&_v=1.0) can be installed, which I used for heating and ventilation control. A DHT22 sensor can be installed below the Raspberry Pi as a temperature sensor, or a DS18B20 sensor in the dome. A 30x30mm, 5V fan is installed as a fan. Important: The heating element must also only be operated with 5 volts, otherwise it will get too hot! (Heating element: https://www.conrad.de/de/p/thermo-tech-polyimid-heizfolie-selbstklebend-12-v-dc-12-v-ac-20-w-schutzart-ipx4-o-92-mm-1594189.html)
For my permanently installed camera, I also encapsulated the heating element with 2-component resin…
For power supply in the "normal version", a CAT6 socket (https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005011974565222.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.94.1cf25c5fnt0umG&gatewayAdapt=glo2deu) is installed, and power is supplied via PoE (Power over Ethernet). A PoE HAT (https://www.berrybase.de/waveshare-pcie-zu-m.2-adapter-poe-hat-fuer-raspberry-pi-5-nvme-ssd-8-gbps-poe-bis-zu-25w) and a PoE power supply (https://www.bueromarkt-ag.de/poe-injektor_ubiquiti_poe-adapter_u-poe-af,p-2024976,l-google-css,pd-b2c.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=20997831791&gad_source=1) are therefore still required for the Raspberry Pi. The Shelly, the fan, and the heater are connected to the 5 Volt output of the PoE HAT
For the power supply of the "mobile version", there is preparation for an 11 mm and a 12 mm screw-in socket, as well as a second base with an opening for a socket similar to the "normal version"
The base and the body are screwed together with M3 heat-set inserts and screws. The base has a central bore for a 1/4 inch heat-set insert (camera thread) and two bores for M6 heat-set inserts. Additionally, the "normal version" also includes a holder for mounting on a 42 mm pipe. This is screwed together with the base and the body
The bubble level has a diameter of 11.7 mm and the compass 44.7 mm. Unfortunately, I no longer remember where I bought them…
