Dual-Cam Sports Filming Enclosure Design

About the project

3D CAD Design Brief: Dual-Camera Sports Recording Enclosure Objective: Design a rugged, highly compact, and material-efficient outdoor enclosure that houses a Raspberry Pi 4, a TalentCell battery pack, and a dual-camera module array optimized for sports filming. 1. Design Philosophy: Compact & Material-Efficient Minimal Footprint: The overall enclosure should be as tight and compact around the internal components as possible. Sturdy but Lightweight: Optimize the design to use the minimum plastic material possible without sacrificing structural integrity. Use strategic geometry—such as structural ribbing, honeycombing/skeletal cutouts in non-structural areas, or optimized wall thicknesses—instead of solid, thick plastic blocks. 2. Component Specifications & Layout Brain: 1 × Raspberry Pi 4 (mounted via standard M2.5 standoffs). CRITICAL Side Clearance: The enclosure footprint must include adequate internal clearance (approx. 2.5–3cm) on the side of the Pi where the USB and Ethernet ports sit. This is to comfortably accommodate the length of plugged-in USB cable connectors and their bend radiuses without straining the ports. Power: 1 × TalentCell YB1208300-USB battery pack. Requires a secure compartment/cradle. Position it so a short USB cable can easily route from the ports on the back of the TalentCell directly into the Pi 4's USB-C power input. Eyes: 2 × Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3. Fixed 104-Degree Angle: The two camera modules must be rigidly mounted at a fixed, exact 104-degree horizontal angle relative to each other to achieve the perfect field-of-view overlap required for panoramic video stitching. Placement: Positioned 6cm directly above the Raspberry Pi 4 (or in a nearby layout that ensures easy, unkinked routing for the flexible CSI ribbon cables). Alignment: The two camera modules must be fixed at an exact 104-degree angle relative to each other to achieve the correct field-of-view overlap for panoramic stitching. 3. Physical Features & Cutouts Optics: Clear, unobstructed openings for both camera lenses. External Access: Cutouts for essential Raspberry Pi 4 ports and easy access to the TalentCell’s charging port and power switch without removing the battery. Thermal Management: Passive ventilation slots or grates integrated into the design to handle heat dissipation during outdoor, daylight use. Base Mount: A standard 1/4"-20 tripod mounting point integrated into the bottom of the casing (please replicate the hole pattern from the provided camera mount sample). 4. Usability & Maintenance Environment: Must be rigid and durable, capable of withstanding outdoor sports-field conditions (wind, minor bumps, sunlight). Access: Design the case with an easy-access opening mechanism (e.g., a removable top panel or clamshell design using heat-set threads) so cables can be replaced, components maintained, or manually charged without fuss. Prototypes will be shared with the selected bidder. Note: The AI generated example case is much bigger than it needs to be because the AI tried to fit webcam casing for a camera that doesn't exist. There camera modules are two flat boards (image attached) - these are the items that need to be at
