I watched the you tube videos on the ESP32-S3-Touch LCD 2 with Micro Python OS. I loved it so much, I immediately bought the camera version to play with. Of course I had to design and print a 3D enclosure for it. I had some initial problems getting the test countdown timer to work (Did not accept font size 48). It worked after I changed the font size to 20. I have attached pictures and would be happy to share the Freecad files if anyone is interested. Maybe someone would like to tweak it to provide for a battery or something else entirely different. Let me Know. Allows Use of camera, LCD, GPIO pins, USB port and the two front buttons. Unfortunately you would have to open the enclosure to get at the SD Card. Modeling was done in FreeCAD and printed on a Snapmaker 2 printer using white 1.75 PETG filament. Total print time about 2.5 hours. It is also available on thingyverse.

What an outstanding project! I'll prove to you the forum is pretty tolerant of silly questions 😉 by asking several of you:
- Could you provide links to the YT you referenced? In the future when a search pulls up your topic, it'll allow users to quickly find what inspired you.
- Of course, provide a thingiverse link. It looks like a professional product. Unlike the plain cubic boxes I make.
- Maybe, it's the context of your pictures confusing me, are you using the camera to work as a mouse sensor? If so, please detail this for us.
Again... gorgeous project and welcome to the forum. 🤩

ThingyVerse:- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7389428. I made the case for use on my workbench to keep it protected. the case has feet so I can still use the GPIO pins. I do not use the camera as such. It was there so I designed the case to accomodate it; and it can be used. I like the idea of using it as a mouse. That is an intriguing idea. I have included all the files so you can play with the design. Perhaps tweak the height of the case to add a battery and a breakout for a camera with a longer lead, or whatever meets your needs. The Freecad file includes a spreadsheet with all dimensions. I have tried to make it fully parameterized. Reach out if you need more information.

The you tube video was the Dronebot workshop video titled:-MicroPythonOS - Android-like OS for ESP32. I am not sure how to get the link.
