Tall Box Camera

This is a complex housing constructed from three 3D printed parts which orienate the Raspberry Pi and screen perpendicular to each other, requiring a set of jumper wires to connect the input/output pins of the adjacent boards. It runs on eight intergrated AA batteries using PiBorg’s BattBorg module and is the only VisionCam to feature a hard on/off switch. The shell has a large switch cover intended for use as a shutter button,  requiring a separate push button switch to be wired to the GPIO/header of the Raspberry Pi. 

The housing is fiddly to construct, but the top mounted screen is satisfying to use due to its similarity a medium-format camera.

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