Camera bed mount - Logitech C910 on Wanhao Duplicator 6 or Monoprice Maker Ultimate

Another niche item, possibly useful to a small group of people. After searching for Logitech C910 designs here, none quite matched my vision, so I created this one. Mounts to the bed support of the Monoprice Maker Ultimate (just a rebadged Wanhao Duplicator 6) securing the camera firmly to the bed for improved time lapse videos. Two designs are included - the initial model had a clip to hold it in place, but I'm not entirely satisfied with that design. It's functional, so I've included it as well. The second design allows for M5 set screws without threads since I have a tap and die set that produces better results. The camera mount itself features an open side for an M4 bolt to pass through and the other side is slightly smaller to accommodate whatever M4 bolt you may have on hand. It might work without a tap and die. The original SketchUp design is included as well. A demo timelapse video from OctoPrint with the camera mounted on the bed can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/usDedkFrbwk If you're using OctoPrint, be aware that the autofocus on the C910 can be really annoying due to the moving print head confusing it. To disable autofocus and set it to what is for me the middle of the print bed: Install uvcdynctrl with sudo apt install. Add these lines to your /etc/rc.local before the exit 0 at the bottom: uvcdynctrl -s "Focus, Auto" 0 uvcdynctrl -s 'Focus (absolute)' 122 Yes, I know using /etc/rc.local is old school and sloppy, but it gets the job done.
