I 3D printed a Holder for the Basler ace GigE C camera, which we are using to image the 775 nm light. The holder interfaces with 3 M3 screws on the bottom of the camera and allows for a #8 socket head cap head screw to be added. The bottom of the holder is 1 inch from the center of the camera. The holder has some slots to allow for air to flow below the camera for ventilation and hopefully keep it cooler. I'm not sure of the efficacy of this since the other 5 faces were open on the other camera and it still got quite hot (although still within spec).
Attached are SolidWorks and STL files for the part I made and the camera, plus a PDF design of the camera.
I printed another mount with wider M3 holes for easier insertion. See attached files.
For a future version, perhaps the M3 holes shouldn't be counterbored so there is less filament to clean up. This would require the correct M3 screw length, which might be harder to find for a longer screw.
I redesigned and made a mount that allows for a C mount to be attached to the front so that ND filters and lenses can be easily added.
See attached files.
