After modding my Prusa Mini with the Prusa Mini Base by David Warboss I wanted a integrate my RPi camera mount.  The RPi camera mount I used in the past was by Seabird HH.  I liked it because it was simple to print, did not add any weight to the motors on the Mini and was adjustable.  I also added the Raspberry Pi Z-Box by The Freewheeler, for OctoPi, so I knew I would not need the usb storage option on the front of my Mini.  I relocated the USB storage to the right rear of the base for USB storage.

The insert was re-mixed in Fusion 360 and the camera support arm was also designed in Fusion 360.

Printing is pretty straight forward, I just printed everything base of what I had printed the Mini base on which was 0.15mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle.  Using Prusa Slicer defualt 0.15mm quality it takes ~ 2.5 hours to print.

When it is all printed I secured the camera support arm to the insert with 1 M3 x 12mm socket cap screw.  The hole may be a bit tight, but it fits together nicely.  A RPi camera cable of 1m will work fine if you are using the Raspberry Pi Z-box.  You will even be able to do a bit of cable management along the way using the other inserts in the Mini Base legs.
