The Raspberry Pi camera does have a factory preset focus distance that is not optimized for this application. A more macro focus can be achieved by simply turning the camera lens 1/3 to 3/4 turn CCW. Note that these lens are glued in position at factory, a small exacto knife using magnification can help release the glue, or just brute force turning with quality needle nose pliers can get it done - just be careful. Optional: mount camera directly on print bed, with RPi case or separate with long cable see photo.
