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

thingiverse

Another niche item that could be useful to a small group of people was found by me. A bunch of Logitech C910 designs were located here, but none of them matched my idea exactly, so this one was drawn up. This camera mount attaches itself to the bed support of the Monoprice Maker Ultimate, which is essentially just a rebadged Wanhao Duplicator 6, securing the camera in place and making time lapse videos better. Two designs were created - the initial design had a clip to keep it in place, but I wasn't completely satisfied with that one. It was done first and works fine, so it's included too. The second design makes provision for M5 set screws instead. No threads are included because I have a tap and die set that gives better results. The camera mount itself has an opening on one side for an M4 bolt to pass through and the other side is smaller so it can be threaded with whatever M4 bolt you have on hand. It might even work without using a tap and die. An original SketchUp design was created. A demo timelapse video from OctoPrint with the camera mounted on the bed can be found here: https://youtu.be/usDedkFrbwk If you use OctoPrint, the autofocus on the C910 can be really annoying as it gets confused by the moving print head. To disable the autofocus and set it to what I consider the middle of the print bed, follow these steps: sudo apt install uvcdynctrl add the following 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 that using /etc/rc.local is old school and sloppy, but it works.
