The camera is very compact and is sold without a case.  To be used in a 3D printer a protective case and mounting system are required.

I designed a case where the camera stick is attached with two 4mm M2 screws using hot inserts.  The stick acts like the back for the case.  The stick has two 6mm thick rings for the mounting with a 6mm gap between them  First ring has a hole for M4 screw. The other ring has a bigger hole for 6mm long M4 hot insert.

The camera mount has two holes for M6 screws to mount it on a 2020 or 3030 extruded frame.  The mount has one 6mm thick ring with a hole for M4 screw.  After pointing the camera to right direction the screw is tightened and camera position is fixed.

Let me know if you need this design without the hot inserts. In that case, the M2 insert is replaced with a hole for the screw.  The M4 insert is replaced with an external M4 nut.
