This is a new version of my side-mounted Pi case and V2.1 Camera system
[Previous Pi Case Design](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3714121)
[Previous Camera Mount Design](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3719157)
I wasn't satisfied anymore with the fact that the original design routed the camera ribbon cable out and away from the machine, making it easier to run into and taking up more space than it should. I also wanted to improve the case mounting points based off of [Jack Werner's remix of the original design](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3967425)
Improvements:
* The camera ribbon cable takes 90 degree bends in order to save on space while also providing additional support for the linkages
* The Pi Case now mounts to the same face of the aluminum extrusion on the printer chassis, eliminating the need for big supports and decreasing print time
* The built-in link on the Pi Case Lid is now much stronger and doesn't require additional supports to print correctly
CAD .STEP files are also included to make these parts easier to remix, but I've only included them for models I actually needed to edit.
EXTRA: I've included a special version of the Pi Case Lid (PiCase_Lid_Standalone) if you prefer to use the case on its own without any of the linkage systems.
***
Linkages connect together in the following order:
Pi Cam Bracket + Link Corner + Link (x16) + Link Corner + Link Extension + Pi Case Lid
Hopefully the pictures I've included also help in assembling the linkages correctly!
