This is a 3D Printed case for the Raspberry PI HQ Camera.
It comprises of 2 main components:
- An enclosure for the camera module
- An enclosure for a Raspberry PI 3A+ which attaches to the module.
The camera enclosure contains the camera module with adequate protection from everyday use with a slot on the back to allow the camera ribbon cable to exit.
There's to variant of this enclosure, with or without a camera shoe attachment which allows for lightweight items to be attached to the camera like a microphone or a small light.
For a plain enclosure use the following modules, one for each component:
camera_mount();
camera_backplate();
To include the shoe attachment:
camera_mount(1);
camera_backplate(1);
The PI enclosure fits a Raspberry PI 3A+ and attaches to the camera enclosure sharing the same mounting holes on the back making the entire setup look like a more traditional camera.
The initial version has no support for buttons, or a screen but the layout of the board is so that it can fit on a full size camera tripod without any sockets being blocked by the tripod.
For the print I used PLA for the prototypes & ABS for the final print but either can be used (at the time I only had Black ABS on hand).
For assembly, you also require:
- 16 Male M2.5x5 screws
- 8 M2.5x11 spacers
- 4 M2.5x11+6 spacers
- 4 M2.5x20+6 spacers
