PistolGripCamera

Building a Raspberry Pi HQ camera module into a pistol grip chassis. It's really hacked-together as a learning exercise for OpenSCAD, so it's by no means perfect.

camera.scad is the master file.

At its centre is a triangular chassis, on the front of which fits the camera module with four M2.3x8mm self-tapping screws. The sloping top is designed to mount a Raspberry Pi in a case using Velcro strips. On the sides and bottom are slide mounts for handles or other fixings, these can be found in slide-locating.scad. These mounts work, but still need some tolerance tweaking to be perfect.

There is an oversized pistol grip handle designed to take two 18650 cells in holders, it has a screw cap on the bottom.

Latest updates: much improves locator shoe and foot for pistol grip. Much stronger than the original.
