    Change in Camera Design Leads to small Hiccup

    So the camera I purchased from Amazon for my new design died shortly after opening it. I bought it a few months ago but didn’t finish printing the new head unit until recently. So returning it was out of the question. I bit the cost, clicked the “purchase again” button and waited for a new…
