Camera Holder Prusa I3 Mk3 for Logitech C210 and others

thingiverse

Mount your webcam on the left front extrusion to capture a side view of your print in action. The camera plate is specifically designed for Logitech C210, but it works with 30x30 extrusions, just like those found on Prusa I3 Mk3 printers. If you know of other compatible printers, please let me know so we can add them to the list. The holder attaches firmly to the extrusion, while the balljoint-base fits snugly into its designated hole. The camera plate features a 10mm ball that mates perfectly with the balljoint-base. Check out the photo for easy installation instructions on how to secure your camera onto the plate. For an added bonus, you can attach the ledstrip-holder below the camera base to shed some light on your prints in progress. Simply purchase an LED strip with 10mm width and 24V capabilities, insert it into the holder without any additional materials, and connect it directly to the 24V motherboard base of your printer. Some filaments can be quite brittle, so it's a good idea to print the balljoint-base from a less fragile material if possible. If you're using very brittle filament, consider adding the strengthening part on top of your holder for added stability at the hole where the balljoint-base will reside. If your camera is too close to the heatbed, you can opt for the extension instead of the balljoint-base. The extension mounts on top of the holder, and the balljoint-base fits neatly into its recessed area. Since the camera plate is designed to be compatible with a variety of cameras, I don't anticipate any issues. However, if someone wants to design their own custom plate, simply incorporate a 10mm ball that fits securely onto the balljoint-base. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and it will help me improve this design for everyone's benefit.
