This is a remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2008595. Excerpt from the original: This make is for a bracket for mounting a camera to the hotbed of Anet A8 printers. The bracket affixes to the top of the H-bracket, below the actual hotbed. We re-use the holes for the linear bearings and an end clamp to attach the mount to the H-bracket. There are two versions of the bracket, one which attaches to either the back right (nearest power supply) or front left. The other version attaches to either the back left (nearest mainboard) or front right. Minimally one bracket needs to be installed. For each bracket you will need: 4x M4 12mm bolts (these will replace the M4 8mm bolts attaching the H-bracket to the bearing), 2x M3 10mm bolts, and 2x 10mm nuts (these attach the clamp). Please note, the clearance under the clamp and the overhang of the bracket is critical to prevent the attachment from crashing into the printer supports. Check clearance on installation and before each use. Damage to your printer is not my responsibility. TL;DR Required hardware (all from spare parts that came with the Anet A8) 4: M4 12mm screw 2: M3 10mm screw 2: M3 nuts For each arm: M3 20mm screw & M3 nut I found there wasn't enough clearance when a heavy webcam was attached so I made made more. I also created a way to mount a Logitech C920 webcam such that it can be removed easily, but should hold on quite tight. Currently I am using the mount in the back right of the heat bed and have had good success :).
