Hi I hope everyone well and keeping safe. During lockdown I have set up a raspberry pi bird cam. How I need a waterproof case, the best designs I can find need a 3d print to make. Can any make an recommendation a local 3d printer service?
Bodge one. You know, the way we did it before 3D printers ...There are plenty of "Project cases" with a clear acrylic front. Mount a Pi inside these. Use Blue-Tack, bits of wood, hot glue, sticky backed fabric and so on to stick a Pi inside it.
This, for example is not cheap, but will give you an idea: https://uk.farnell.com/fibox/5330060/enclosure-pc-gry-clr-lid-280x190x130/dp/2366395?st=clear%20front%20project%20caseUse gromits to take a cable outside, but make sure all cable entry/exits are at the bottom to reduce water ingress.
