Raspberry Pi Birdbox camera mount by keithellis

I wanted to mount a Raspberry Pi camera module inside a bird box so I could stream live pictures from the box to the internet. I documented the project here.
I thought it important that the camera was securely mounted, I did not want the camera to be knocked or become detached, since once birds move in it would not be possible to adjust to reattach it.
I therefore designed this 3D printed camera mount. It is designed to hold the Raspberry Pi camera, either the standard module or the IR version along with a 5mm IR LED held in position with a bezel. I also provided a small light baffle so the IR LED did not cause glare on the camera.
