Ever wanted to monitor your 3D printer without constantly having to get up and check that everything is still in control? This simple camera holder for the Raspberry Pi Zero W Sainsmart camera mini does just that. It's the perfect companion for any 3D printer, eliminating the anxiety of having to babysit every print job remotely. The design was optimized for assembly without screws - just a small amount of superglue is needed. The two halves of the case snap together tightly and hold the camera in place with mini tabs on the front half of the case. To avoid damaging it, just push gently. In addition, the swivel joint allows you to firmly adjust the camera into position. Vents in the front and back of the case ensure that your RPi stays cool without needing an extra fan.
