# Raspberry Pi HQ Camera Case ## Overview https://youtu.be/g107_ErFv9k ## DIY HQ Camera In this project we’re making a case for the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera. This 3D printed an enclosure that houses the Pi 4 and the HQ Camera module. It’s compatible with any C or CS-mount lenses so we can use a wide variety of interchangeable lenses. ![raspberry_pi_hero-camera.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/091/673/medium640/raspberry_pi_hero-camera.jpg?1591047793) ## Easy/Fast 3D Print The parts can be 3d printed without any support material using PLA. The case is modular and features snap fit covers that are easy to remove and swap out. The PCB mount is designed to secure the camera to the Pi and can be printed in just about 20 minutes. ![raspberry_pi_pcb-mount-parts.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/091/672/medium640/raspberry_pi_pcb-mount-parts.jpg?1591046987) ## Snap Fit & Modular With snap fit parts you can customize the case to fit a number of different sensors and components. All of the ports and connectors are accessible so you can connect all sorts of devices like a display, mouse and keyboard. ![raspberry_pi_hero-camera-topview.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/091/677/medium640/raspberry_pi_hero-camera-topview.jpg?1591048157) ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/091/695/medium800/raspberry_pi_cam-topshelf.jpg?1591123138) Info: [Official Raspberry Pi Camera Guide](https://magpi.raspberrypi.org/books/camera-guide) [Raspberry Pi HQ Camera Blog Post](https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/new-product-raspberry-pi-high-quality-camera-on-sale-now-at-50/) ## Parts List of parts used to build this project.
