Housing for Lifecam HD-3000 A sleek camera housing that fits snugly into the Qidi Avatar IV, FlashForge Creator and similar printers, positioned to gaze down at the build plate with a tilt of 9°. Additional Requirements: Microsoft Lifecam HD-3000 OctoPrint with a free USB port The original housing of the Lifecam HD-3000 will be completely removed and disposed of, but the four screws will be reused. Opening the Original Case (see picture): Unlock the two screws located at the back, situated on either side of the rubber grip. Carefully take the case apart by pulling forward from the bottom (there are three notches at the top). Release the two screws holding the PCB in place. Pull the microphone out of its tight-fit plastic housing. Remove the silver metal spring that holds the black metal pin in position. Take out the black metal pin that secures the rubber grip. Remove the rubber grip from the camera. Use pliers to cut through the hard plastic on the back side and release the USB cable. Use pliers to remove all the glue holding the hard plastic to the USB cable. Rebuilding with the New Case: Place the PCB into the printed base, securing it with two screws (there's a cable exit on one side and a space for the microphone on the other). Put the top on the case and lock it from the back with two screws. Position the case inside the printer and push up the mounts in-between the two metal sheets of the printer (there's a screw at the center of the printer, making it easier to start with one mount away from the center and then the second mount diagonally). Route the cable up and out through a space between the printer housing and the acrylic top. Plug the USB into your OctoPrint and enjoy. Print Settings Printer: Qidi Avatar IV Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.5mm layer height Infill: 20 % Notes: Printed with PETG, all layers at 0.5mm height (using the standard 0.4mm nozzle). How I Designed This Created using IceSL, a modeling tool similar to OpenSCAD but with two key differences: its scripting language is Lua and it features real-time rendering with GPU acceleration, interactive parameter changes, and a built-in slicer that requires full OpenGL 4.3 support. See the script case.lua for details on how it was modeled. Related Stuff Carbon Build Plate Holder / Clamp http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2154442
