<h3>Astro-Cineroc&nbsp;</h3><p><i>(or CineCam…or AstroCine…let's work on a catchy name)</i></p><p>This one is for you Cineroc Fans out there. &nbsp;That classic look becomes a functional adapter for the <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=estes+universal+astrocam&amp;rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS868US868&amp;sxsrf=APq-WBsuoLJF5g-bsg0uKedZTCdKiochvw%3A1644110558347&amp;ei=3iL_YYXlFK2gkPIPkNWHiAk&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiFzLSO9en1AhUtEEQIHZDqAZEQ4dUDCA4&amp;uact=5&amp;oq=estes+universal+astrocam&amp;gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBAgjECcyBQgAEIAEOgcIIxCwAxAnOgcIABBHELADOgcIABCwAxBDOgcIIxCwAhAnOgQIABANOgYIABAHEB46BggAEA0QHkoECEEYAEoECEYYAFCqBlj9GmCfHWgBcAJ4AIABzAGIAe4MkgEFMC44LjKYAQCgAQHIAQrAAQE&amp;sclient=gws-wiz">Estes Astrocam</a> or even an lesser quality (cheep) camera off of <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=Mini+USB+Flash+Drive+Hidden+Camera+U-Disk&amp;_sacat=0">eBay</a>. &nbsp;(b<i>ut the Astrocam is actually the better value in the end) &nbsp;</i></p><p><i>Note: The cheap camera will only work on the internal mounting shell.</i></p><p>I print the parts at .2mm no infill and the camera shells do require supports (see the examples below)</p><p>The External mount option allows you to quickly attach and detach the camera to the payload section and is pretty secure but you may want to add a small strip of tape or a rubber band to secure it further.&nbsp;</p><p>You will need a 6.5" length of 6-32 all thread - but you don't have to if you're comfortable with using tape to hold the body together. You can use an actual 6-32 nut if you want, but I wanted something bulkier and easily tighten by hand, so I made the thumb nob.</p><p>The camers shell section can be separated into 3 parts so you can print the yellow seen in the rendering below. &nbsp;This aids in giving you that classic Cineroc look.&nbsp;</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/129934/rich_content/75c2e4eb-0de1-4c8d-9102-94b307041d9f/astrocine-rendered.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22e39197ef-5669-4ce4-9a28-8669c6f9a01e%22%2C%22w%22%3A575%2C%22h%22%3A808%7D"></figure><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:80.58%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/129934/rich_content/3bf09182-5c19-4060-8bcd-704902c0cfbf/astrocine-shaded.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22105882cd-4bb0-4359-8c29-0ab445e8c562%22%2C%22w%22%3A637%2C%22h%22%3A856%7D"></figure><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:78.35%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/129934/rich_content/8bee5b0d-6477-473f-9981-30f32a9e0cc8/astrocine-cut-away.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2227a36a3c-571d-44b5-a84e-dff29f7f5b4a%22%2C%22w%22%3A800%2C%22h%22%3A1217%7D"></figure><p>The Shells need support, use the Prusa Slicer's paint function. &nbsp;</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:77.62%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/129934/rich_content/56dc48fb-d8c2-408e-8b5f-8d7820b6fdb4/astrocine-supports.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%223e203bfb-2612-4517-8851-2213bbaddfd1%22%2C%22w%22%3A738%2C%22h%22%3A760%7D"></figure><h3>USB Caps</h3><p>The cameras benefit from an end cap that covers the USB port and will help the camera stay in place. &nbsp;There is one for the Astrocam and one for the cheap eBay camera. &nbsp; The little notch faces outwards and exposes the recording LED so you know what's happening.&nbsp;</p><figure class="image image-style-align-center"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/129934/rich_content/304a1a40-33f0-4b18-a432-395ff92cc4b1/astrocam-caps.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2232d037c0-67a2-42a7-908b-7d960f6fdeda%22%2C%22w%22%3A453%2C%22h%22%3A444%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i><strong>This is the view from the external mount</strong></i></p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/129934/rich_content/0efc57af-9c8c-400b-898f-770d13046123/vlcsnap-2022-02-05-17h01m30s997.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22e3688261-861f-4595-b679-97fbc39fbb9e%22%2C%22w%22%3A1920%2C%22h%22%3A1080%7D"></figure><p><i><strong>-----------</strong></i></p><p><i><strong>This is the view from the internal mount</strong></i></p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/129934/rich_content/8189dd78-ab32-4c19-9a0f-1f5e6292bf83/vlcsnap-2022-02-04-15h00m51s711.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2204844eba-cf7b-46b7-80b2-9e8834892e30%22%2C%22w%22%3A1920%2C%22h%22%3A1080%7D"></figure><p>---------</p><p><i><strong>The view from the cheap eBay camera.&nbsp;</strong></i></p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:84.96%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/129934/rich_content/f6e7848b-7815-481a-9ffd-734c79d7c02e/vlcsnap-2022-02-05-17h07m50s628.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%226fd91364-27bd-40f1-9924-6c30b96f337c%22%2C%22w%22%3A1280%2C%22h%22%3A960%7D"></figure>
