The short answer for the Hackspace is both, and we use whatever our own personal preference is. Initially to take time-lapse videos of 3D printing then moving onto other projects afterwards. What we need to do is add support for the RaspiCam and web video streaming. The Pi distribution was provided by myself and is Raspbian with Octoprint and Repetier Server loaded afterwards. The Hackspace already has a Raspberry Pi running as a 3D print server allowing the controlling of our Prusa Mendel through the two options of either Octoprint or Repetier Server. There will be a follow up post which will show how we are actually using it and how the camera and Pi is fitted to the printer. In this post I’ll cover what we did to get the camera module working and ready for use. Omnivision 5647 sensor in a fixed-focus module without IR filter.

The cable can easily be replaced by uncoupling at the camera end. The standard ribbon cable supplied is going to be too short for our 3D printer needs, but longer ribbon cables can be purchased.

The camera plugs directly into the Pi by way of a 15 pin Ribbon Cable, to the dedicated 15 pin MIPI Camera Serial Interface (CSI). It is an add-on camera module for the Raspberry Pi which has no infrared filter, making it perfect for taking infrared photographs or photographing objects in low light (twilight) conditions. The Hackspace recently took delivery of a Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera Module from Farnell – full details are on their website.
