Case should slide together. Secure with 12mm M3 screws for the top and bottom halves of the case. M5 x 12mm to hold the camera to the gimbal and the gimbal to the wall mount.

I had to use needle files to enable the camera to fit into the camera mount/window mount.

Cut a 20mm x 20mm x 2mm perspex for the window. Put a small amount of silicon sealant in the groove around the window hole in the case bottom. Then place the perspex window in a secure it with 4 x 5mm M3 screws.

Drill a hole in the bottom of the case bottom for a power lead.

NOTE: I should point out that there is NOT room to use a USB cable into the USB port of the Pi Zero W to power it. I soldered my power cable directly to the Pi Zero W board.

UPDATE Feb 2023

Very pleased to report that my case has survived 4 British winters so far and has not leaked. Pi Zero W still functioning well. I've added another photo that shows how everything is holding up after 21 months outside. It also shows where I direct soldered power wires to the Pi Zero W. My power supply is 12V and you can also see the DC-DC converter wrapped in yellow Kapton tape. This drops the input voltage down from 12V to 5V for the Pi Zero W.
