Enclosure for Mini Thermal Cam MLX90640_CSB 2

thingiverse

This is an enclosure for a relatively affordable thermal camera that can be obtained via several online store platforms (such as Aliexpress, Banggood etc). It does not seem to have a specific model number, the one I listed might just refer to the infrared sensor it uses. The cam comes in a very basic "open" design that will lead to dust and dirt coming in contact with the components - potentially also the optics - and limits the usage scenarios. This enclosure consists of two halves and makes the camera more comfortable to use and protects the internal components from dirt and water. While it doesnt make the camera fully waterproof it should now be possible to use it in a more humid environment and maybe even light rain, if you cover the hole leading to the USB-C charging port.. The enclose is designed to be fit on with the screws that are already part of the camera's construction. Remove the screws and use them them to connect the enclosure halfs with the back- and frontplate and spacers before connecting them with the center board again. I suggest printing the case in PLA, ABS or PETG. I printed mine in transparent PLA. Please disregard the terrible print quality, currently my 3D printer is giving me a few issues that Im still trying to fix.
