C270 Focuser with LED Ring support

thingiverse

This is an enhanced version of the improved Logitech C270 manual focus system. I love the original file's simplicity, but I wanted to add a LED ring around the camera lens for better image quality on Octopi prints, so I edited the focuser front by adding holes where to install my support for the LED ring. The 8cm external diameter, 6.4cm internal diameter, and 1cm width of the LED ring made it easy to find a suitable one at the local China store. If you can locate a similar model, you're ready to add awesome lighting to your printer! To make installation easier, I created several pieces, including: 1. C270_Focuser_Front_with_holes.stl: This is the modified model with holes for the LED ring support. It will be attached to the original model using 2 M3 screws. 2. SideLED.stl: This is a small support piece for the side of the LED ring, requiring minimal material usage. Simply push it into the holes for a tight fit, or add a drop of super glue for extra security. 3. TopLED.stl: This piece attaches to the top side of the ring and has a similar tight fit as the SideLED. Its longer design ensures perfect illumination of the print area while printing. 4. BottomLED.stl: Identical in design to TopLED, but for the lower side of the ring. These three pieces have a snug fit with the LED ring, eliminating the need for glue or additional materials. With this modular design, you can easily adapt it to your existing LED ring by editing the support pieces and inserting them into the holes. The focus ring and backplate can be found on the original model link in my "Remixed from" section. Please let me know if you like this design! If you print one yourself (maybe sharing a photo, I'd appreciate it!), consider checking out my other creations on my profile.
