Battery Holder Camera - Type C

This housing is made from a 3D printed shell and rear panel. The integrated rear panel prongs are for attaching a USB battery with cable ties or elastic bands. This version was an exercise in shrink-wrapping the case tightly around the Raspberry Pi, screen and camera and was a precursor to the Compact VisionCam. The front of the shell has an enlarged button cover above the screen intended for use as the shutter release (although either of the four buttons could be programmed for a variety of uses).

The 3D printed shell has zero undercuts and is designed to be printed on any 3D printer with minimal post-production finishing.
