Raspberry Pi Zero W / Makerbot Replicator 2/2X Corner Camera Case

thingiverse

I will mount a Raspberry Pi Zero W and Pi Camera to the front inside corner of the Makerbot Replicator 2/2X. My goal is to see if print is complete, and remotely monitor the print. The idea behind this project was inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2254307. Here are the key features: - The case mounts to the inside M6 bolt of front left corner frame when using a longer bolt. - Vent holes are located at the top and bottom of the case for airflow. - The camera is pointed directly at the center of the build plate (X-Y) and 10 degrees down (Z). - Electronic components are all mounted to the case front for easy removal. Besides the power cable, there are no other cables that need to be routed through the Replicator 2. Note: The camera ends up being a little low in reference to the build plate due to needed clearance of the gantry. Print becomes visible around 5mm of height. Additional parts required: Raspberry Pi Zero W Pi Camera Micro-USB to DIP Board M6 longer bolt and nut. M3 bolt and nut To attach the case back, print the bolt hole side down for the back piece. Remove the hole support after printing.
