ELP 720p USB Webcam module enclosure and mount

thingiverse

In search of the ultimate Webcam to pair with my 3D printer via Octoprint, I discovered these fantastic ELP USB camera modules. They're incredibly small, budget-friendly, boast a wide lens, and work seamlessly with Raspberry Pi. This comprehensive enclosure and mount is designed for easy attachment to 2020 extrusion frames like those found on the Creality CR-10. There's also a compatible mount available for MakerGear M2 printers. The M2 mount attaches securely to the frame corner using an M3 nut and screw, providing stable support. IMPORTANT NOTE About ELP camera and OctoPi image: I've encountered a crucial issue with ELP cameras on Octopi (Raspberry Pi image with Octoprint): they won't work by default. This is due to Octopi's distro attempting to start the camera at 10 frames per second, which ELP cameras can't handle. Fortunately, this problem has an easy solution. To fix it: - Edit the /boot/octopi.txt file - Locate the line with the hash/pound sign: camera_usb_options="-r 640x480 -f 10" - Remove the hash/pound sign to uncomment and change the -f value from 10 to 15, like so: camera_usb_options="-r 640x480 -f 15" - Reboot
