C270 Mount for Lulzbot Mini

thingiverse

Logitech C270 webcam mount for Lulzbot Mini. With camera movement synchronized with bed motion, prints appear stationary in timelapse videos, as seen here: https://youtu.be/BqD27PS_YTM. I started by using STL from thing 1602952 created by Marksman79, refining the geometry and narrowing the mounting point for a snug fit. Then, I integrated C270 mount from thing 1228521 designed by luc_e, positioning it at the correct angle to aim the C270 directly at the center of Mini's bed. The camera mount itself is a direct replica of original C270 mount, so the same axle and screw removed from C270 can be used with this mount. NOTE: This design is for Lulzbot Mini 1.03 and prior bed designs (silver beds). The Mini 1.04 bed design (black beds) may not fit due to differences in design (not tested, as I don't own a Mini 1.04). Sketchup file included for anyone willing to modify the design further! Print Settings: Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: Mini Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.25 Infill: 65% Notes: The only area that may need support is the mount holes, as I experienced drooping with PETG without supports. With better bridging materials, you might not need supports. I narrowed the mount for a tight fit on the bed -- so don't over-extrude, or the mount point will likely be too tight. Since this is a lengthy print, I recommend slicing the model and test-printing just the top portion (the mount) to check the fit before printing the entire model. Design Process: Imported STL models into Sketchup, which made a difficult-to-edit model. After spending time refining the geometry, I cleaned up most of the problems, making the sketchup file reasonably editable -- although there are still some surfaces that should be coplanar but aren't.
