Pi Camera Mount and Drag Chain for Prusa i3 MK2S. Two drag chains must be printed, then attached together. The dragchain was made by me. The bed mount for the camera was remixed from another thing. The camera enclosure and pi case were not made by me but are listed below. (EDIT 10/2/18) A new object has been added to attach the drag chain to the frame. This keeps the drag chain from moving around during a print. It has a channel for the camera cable to run under the printer frame without getting damaged and slots for the frame to fit into so it stays in place. With my setup, this works great because my printer sits on a big rubber pad. If I had the printer sitting on a hard surface, that piece might act as a fulcrum and cause the printer to rock back and forth on it. It's recommended to set the printer on a pad like this; it makes the printer very quiet.

All other parts are printed in PLA. The bed mount for the camera probably needs to be printed out of PETG because of the heat from the bed. A 1 meter long pi camera cable from adafruit was used: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2143 The arm that attaches the camera to the bed was remixed from this one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2127887 It was extended a little and a mount for the drag chain was added so the camera case wouldn't hit the extruder stepper.
