YouTuber Boaztheostrich has created a camera based on a Raspberry Pi entirely using 3D printing. In contrast to commercially available models, the housing can be individually adapted to your own needs.
As the maker explains on his channel, as an active photographer and filmmaker, he was frustrated by the lack of customization options for cameras. Whether professional or amateur models, the design, button assignment and controls are practically identical. Yet there is potential for optimization, especially for left-handers or certain applications.
As a solution, the Creator is now presenting its Raspberry Pi camera with a 3D-printed housing. Unlike previous approaches, the focus is not on technology but on user-friendliness. The result is a camera that can be customized in many ways thanks to the digital design process, but looks like a familiar product.
According to Boaztheostrich, the CAD data and printing instructions enable simple customization of form and function. For example, users can position buttons specifically for left-handers or integrate additional operating elements. There are virtually no limits to modularity. The maker publishes instructions and all the details of its development on GitHub.
