Reference the assembly photo for connecting the ribbon cable in the correct orientation.
Tripod Screw Insert (Optional)
Insert the 3/8" to 1/4" adapter to the tripod mount if you'd like to secure the 3D printed case to a tripod or the 3D printed base.
Install Tripod Mount
Orient the tripod mount with the bottom half of the case with the three mounting holes lined up.
Insert and fasten three M3 x 4mm machine screws to secure the parts together.
Make sure the micro SD card is NOT in the Pi's card slot before fitting into it the case.

Insert the Raspberry Pi into the half with the mounting holes lined up.
Secure Raspberry Pi
Use a minimum of two M2.5 x 6mm long machine screws to secure the Raspberry Pi to the bottom half of the case.
Secure Raspberry Pi Camera
