The previous two blog post showed you how to install motion to stream video from the Pi Camera , followed by setting up lighttpd with Single File PHP Gallery 4.6.1 to create a simple photo gallery so that you can check out the pictures of the intruder/visitors, when you are back home from work ..
Pi Control Hub: Spoke 1 :Security Camera - setting up Motion to stream video
Pi Control Hub: Spoke 1 :Security Camera (continued)- Photo gallery of the intruders
As part of this blog post we will 3D print the STL files attached, to make a case for the Raspberry Pi + Pi camera, which makes it look like a security camera..
Download the STL files attached in the Zip file below and 3D print the files, here are the slicer setting I used on my Flashforge creator pro
Layer height - 0.3 mm
Infill density - 30%
Temperature - 205 C (i am using Hatchbox Black 1.75mm PLA )

It took me about 7 hours to 3D print all the files, and the files were designed in Autodesk Fusion 360 as shown in the picture above. While designing the files I considered using the Raspberry Pi model B+ with the Pi camera. And yes, I could have gone even smaller considering that I am using a Pi Zero now 
..
Once you are done with the 3D printing STLs, use 4-40 x3/8 screws and 4-40 nuts, and hot glue the USB cable that is connected to the power and Wifi USB adapter to hold the components to the base.
As part of the next steps, i am going to have to
- Coat the 3D prints with an epoxy resign, to weather proof the camera
- Find a longer black USB cable preferably and find a way power up the camera from the door light using a USB cable 
- Design a mounting bracket to mount the camera on.
