Camera holder for RPi camera to be used with Prusalink.

Compatible with:
- Prusa MK3/MK3S/MK3S+ printer
- Raspberry Pi Zero W / 2  
- 15cm RPi Zero CSI camera cable (Zero has a narrower connector than the larger RPis)
- Raspberry Pi camera module 1.3 / 2 / 3 / Wide / NoIR
- software PrusaLink 0.7 RC3 and up


There are two versions of the cover. One for the top-mounted camera - above the Einsy box, one behind the Einsy box. See pictures and try what suits your use.

The camera base and cover were inspired by Sneaks articulating camera holder - but smaller in size. 16mm ball-mount plumbus is still compatible with the Sneaks' camera cover.


Before installing, also print the RPi Zero 2 Frame and Pliers
The pliers are essential for inserting or removing the RPi Zero or the microSD card.

To mount the camera independently, use RPi Camera Holder Plumbus.


How to install: 

- Connect the camera and the RPi Zero using the dedicated CSI cable.
- Attach the camera into the rpicam_base and cover it with the rpicam_cover part.
- Install PrusaLink according to this guide
- Cover the RPi Zero with the selected cover. Attach the cover using one or two M2x8 bolts (bundled to MK3S+ in the SPARE bag).
- Replace the Einsy-door with the chamfered version so that the camera image isn't obstructed by it.
- in Prusalink, visit Cameras tab. Set up the camera and link to your Prusa Connect.
- Enjoy the camera.
