On the RPI camera, the tiny locking clip for the ribbon is very fragile. Download this model to print spares!

If you're even a little ham-fisted when inserting the ribbon cable into the RPI camera, chances are you broke the leg(s) on the locking tab. This tab is called a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) clip. Break it and you're stuck with wedging or tape as a fix.
 

Print up 3 or 4 of these replacement ZIF clips and you can be as ham-fisted as you like. They're actually sturdier than the OEM product.

Print Tips:
- See the attached PDF in the Files Section for orientation on the print bed.
- Print in quality PETG.
- .2mm layer height is just fine; no supports

Assembly Tips:
- Note the orientation- the lip at the top of the clip should face away from the ribbon.
- Align the legs with the channel in the connector.


I've included a STEP file for those who wish to tinker further.
