This is a holder for a RasPi camera equipped with a lens such as [this](http://amzn.com/B012ETE75I) or [this](http://www.uctronics.com/ov5647-camera-board-w-cs-mount-lens-fully-compatible-with-raspberry-pi.html). The dimensions of the board are different, and the lens makes it considerably heavier than the standard RasPi camera. That's why I decided to install the camera at a fixed position and use [OctoLapse](https://github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse) to stabilize the timelapse instead of adapting [NERDVille's OctoPrint - FULLY Adjustable Camera + Light Rig](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2458666). This would have required moving the heavy camera with the print bead. [NERDVille's OctoPrint - FULLY Adjustable Camera + Light Rig](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2458666) was still my main source of inspiration, and I thank @NERDVille for that. However, except for one part (the camera rotational head), I redesigned all parts on my own using OpenSCAD. The camera is available with two different lenses: one with 4mm focus and one with 6mm focus. I tried both, but they have slightly different dimensions, so I had to create two variants of the case. The neopixel ring has 12 LEDs and can be mounted using four pins. You might need to redrill the holes in the case top to 2mm. Case top and bottom snap together without glue required. The arm is inspired by the [Anet Raspi Camera Mount by SkyRunner](www.thingiverse.com/thing:2649477), but it may or may not be useful for other printer models. As the design is modular, you can always combine it with other attachments. I redesigned the arm to have a lower height to accommodate the additional mounting elements required. The camera rotational head part was taken from @NERDVille and then mirrored so that the screw heads are accessible from the right side and the nuts are on the left.
