MK2 and MK3 Pi Camera Mount with bottom exit ribbon cable

Really liked PrintCentral's Camera mount and case. I just wanted the ribbon to come out the bottom so I remixed the original design. I also modified to give the cable more room to let the lid shut but this might be due to the fact that I'm using a v1.3 camera not the new v2 camera? Might fit both versions exactly the same for all I know but this works for my version. Finally, I tightened up the fit to make the lid snap in place because on my printer the original was a loose fit and I don't want to glue it shut.

I also prefer the longer gooseneck than the original so I used this bed mount with ball joint that CNCKitchen remixed from the original. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2014167

Front view

Side view showing ribbon cable routing

I really like how neatly the ribbon cable can be routed down the side, under the printer, back over to the Octopi mounting up in back. The clips were printed right from Prusa's own design files that match what came with the printer and can be downloaded from his site.

How I Designed This

Remixed camera housing

Modifications:

Reversed the opening for the cable so that it would come out the bottom, which I prefer. I also opened up the slot and added a bevel to allow the cable to more easily route down to my v1.3 Pi camera module while letting the lid shut all the way.

Remixed lid

Modifications

All that was needed here was to add a tiny amount of girth to the three sides that slip into the camera housing. This gives me a really nice press fit that snaps in tightly yet still can be removed easily.
