ELP Webcam case with tripod mount

thingiverse

It's for the Elp 2.0mp USB Camera with a 2.8-12mm Varifocal Lens, but other lenses work too. The tripod mount is just a 6.2mm hole which you have to drive a hot tripod screw into to create the thread. The top cover will be attached using 1.75mm filament that you stick into the holes and seal it off with some glue or a hot knife. Print Settings Printer: Anet A8 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 15% Notes: Print separate / after each other. A little bit of brim I used (5 lines) but you don't necessarily need it. Post-Printing Making the Tripod nut Get a tripod screw and heat it up with a lighter, then screw it into the part that creates the threads. Attaching the cover Put 1.75mm filament into the holes in the top cover with some glue or just seal it up with a hot knife. You can also use screws if you have some that fit. Putting in the Camera It's a tight fit, very tight. If you can't push it in try to scrape off some material on the PCB outside. Be careful; the pins inside the housing are fragile. The slot on the left side of the housing is for the IR Cut filter cable. How to Remove and put back on the Lens There's one small screw on the Camera module that releases the thread of the lens. Remember where it was exactly, or you'll have to refocus every time you zoom in. Attach USB cable On the back is a slot where the USB Connector cable fits through; just use some tweezers to snap it into the socket. Notice which way around it goes in. How I Designed This I made this using Sketchup. I had the camera laying around here and measured every bit with calipers to create the model, that's why it's a very tight fit.
