I tried out multiple models to mount my ESP32-Cam to my gasmeter. All of them had the issue that the LED on the ESP32 caused reflections on the glass of the gasmeter, which resulted in poor detection by AI on the edge. You can make all these models work by adding external LEDs, adding defusors to the LED and so on, but I found this to be very frustrating. I therefore designed this version, that features a devider between the camera and the onboard LED flash. The light therefore only comes from the side of the counter and there are no reflections in the camera picture.

I designed the model such that it is compatible to the magnet mount of this thingiverse model. My design was inspired by the mentioned thingiverse model and the design of Hoopy.

You have to print all 3 parts of this model and “1_Basisplatte.stl” from here. You need a few M3 screws to put everything together. I printed the model in white, thinking that this might help to reflect the light where it has to go. Feedback from other makers also suggested that using black is not as effective.
