Anet A8 LED Strip and camera mount

thingiverse

Use a heatbed mounting system that lights up from the front side, perfect for cameras positioned at the front of your printer. You can also mount it on the back frame, but be cautious with the heatbed cables. Additionally, this design fits snugly behind the space between the stepper motor and the back frame for flexible placement. Attach a camera mount to a Clip-on type webcam, which features a 1.5cm thickness clamp. I'm currently using a generic webcam at an affordable price. Several holes are strategically placed on the LED Holder for easy cable routing. Note: Depending on your LED strip's heat level, you may need ABS for the LED Strip mount. I printed mine in PLA and found it sufficient, but be aware that it becomes soft over time. Alternatively, use a thick double tape foam to insulate the heat instead of the pre-mounted double-sided tape provided with your LED strips. This system is modular, allowing you to easily replace the mount for different camera mounts in the future. Print Settings: Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 15 Notes: The Mount and brace are strong enough with 15% infill, 2 shells, and 2 bottom/top layers. Increase as needed for added strength; 20% infill should be more than sufficient. Support is not required since the design is intended to print easily without it. I printed mine at 60mm/s.
