This is a case for the Raspberry Pi Cam v2, available here on Amazon (not an affiliate link, just where I got it). It is designed to mount to the X-carriage of the Prusa i3 MK3. It features a ball-and-socket joint for increased rotational flexibility, and can be put together (mostly) with spare hardware from the Prusa i3 MK3 build kit. You will need:
3x M3x6mm socket head screws (you could use spare 8mms from your kit)
1x M3x40mm socket head screw
2x M3x25mm socket head screws (this was the only thing you'll need to buy)
1x M3 x 18mm socket head screw (you can use a 20mm screw from the kit OR one of the 18mm's you replace with the 25mm's from the X-carriage)
5x M3 nuts
One other thing: I added a liner inside the case that I printed out of flexible material - just to give a little padding and allow for a more snug fit. If you don't want to use flexible filaments, you can print it out of a rigid filament and the camera should still fit.
The .stl files do not include the image on the face, as it is copyrighted, and was added after for my personal amusement.
TPU liner was printed at 0.2mm layer height with Filamentum TPU.
Printed at 0.2mm layer height with Prusament PETG. Supports are not STRICTLY necessary (a well-tuned printer can print without supports), but printing with supports from the build plate will improve the quality of some of the more hidden elements.
