Da Vinci Camera Mount

thingiverse

This webcam mount is specifically designed for XYZPrinting Da Vinci Duo 2.0a printers, although it may also fit other Da Vinci models. It's tailored to accommodate a standard 1/4" tripod-mount webcam, with the Logitech C615 being a prime example (it works seamlessly with both AstroBox and Octopi). Other webcams that are narrow and feature a tripod mount should also work well. The design provides sufficient clearance for the print head while still offering an excellent view of the action. Unlike some other solutions, this mount attaches to the frame of the Da Vinci rather than the print bed itself. This is because the printer's movement in both X and Y axes doesn't require placement on the bed for high-quality time-lapse videos. The decision not to risk extra weight hanging from the bed also took into account the Da Vinci's notorious pickiness when it comes to print bed calibration. To install, you'll need to remove the left side cover, which is a straightforward process. Simply slide a stiff blade under the lip on top and lift gently until the snaps release (there are four of them along the top). Once the side cover is off, insert the mount into the holes inside and snap it back into place.
