A remix of Sneaks excellent ‘Articulating Raspberry Pi Camera Mount’ -camera housing to suit the new v3 Raspberry Pi camera.

The newly released V3 camera has a much bigger sensor and comes with autofocus- quite a big upgrade from the V2 camera. however, the new sensor is significantly bigger. 

I changed the camera cover of Sneaks design ( https://www.printables.com/model/3407-articulating-raspberry-pi-camera-mount-for-prusa-m ) to allow for the new sensor, and all fits fine. 

There are two designs, a plain front, and a version with a hexagon pattern. If you want a dual-colour hex print like the photo, change filament at 1mm and 2.4mm layer heights (roughly, this will depend on you print layer heights - but you know the drill :) )

If you already have this setup with a V2 camera, you only need to print a new “RasPi Camera V3 Module Cover” - the back should work fine. My remixed back simply aligns the supports with the mounting holes, but the existing back doesn’t seem to cause interference.

I have uploaded my model of the v3 camera module here in case you want to use it for other models; https://www.printables.com/model/368779-raspberry-pi-camera-module-3

Final Note: The hardware fits and is an easy swap out for an existing setup - but Octoprint (well, my version anyway) does not currently support the new camera. If anyone can can advise on any way to get it running for everyone else, please leave a comment! Software and code are not my strong points, and I'm probably not going to be updating my system for quite a while yet.

UPDATE 07/02/2023  -  I've had a couple of comments that this doesn't fit the wide angle lens version of the camera, and so have added two new files which should suit it according to the documentation. I don't have the wide camera module myself, so can somebody please let me know if the new designs fit okay, or if I need to open up the lens hole a little? Thanks!

UPDATE 08/03/2023 - I have modified “Joe's wood'n 3D”'s https://www.printables.com/model/103898-connector-box-for-rpi-csi-cables/remixes to include a matching hex pattern on the lid case.
