Raspberry IR-Camera

A year ago I read about a project, building an infradred-camera with a raspberry pi (Raspberry Pi Geek 01/2015). Although I hat different components - especially annother display, I got it to work at least.

When I got an 3D-printer later, I became the chance to make a nice housing too. At that time the ir-cam was assembled in an old cigar-box ;)
But then I found the excellent "Raspberry Pi portable case" - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:703638
I had a raspi B+ and the watterott touch display installed, so I needed to modify the lid of the portable case for my needs. Furthermore I had to change it in way, that I could attach (glue) the step-up-ring to the box in front of the cam and to hold/use the whole thing more than a normal camera.


But before we go into details, some information about IR-photography:
A normal digital cam has an ir-filter installed with the sensor. This filter removes the light above the visual spectrum from the photos, to make the colors look natural.
