Logitech C270 mount for Bed Handle

thingiverse

READ ME: Experience has shown me that the bed handle sags because of a combination of factors including heat from the bed and the weight of the C270 unit. I have since posted a complete camera arm assembly that counters these issues, thing:3122486, and I advise using that design instead! I am leaving this item here for those who wish to try it anyway, and for those who wish to experiment with or remix the design. ==================================== This bracket is designed to be used in conjunction with all three of the following: 1) LarnOm's lovely organic bed handle: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2957507 ...and 2) Moclub's nifty little camera mount plate: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2987358 ...and 3) kareem613's useful camera adaptor: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1066718 Plus, if you want it in focus, you'll also need one of the many focus ring modifications for the C270 that are liberally available on Thingiverse. I used this one by Night_Gryphon: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3036739 Put all of that little lot together with my little stand, and voila! A C270 perfectly positioned for printbed monitoring and creation of those lovely hypnotic timelapses. The camera mounts with a moderately long M4 bolt, and the support is designed to hold a T-nut on the underside, saving you from having to mess about with a spanner as well as an allen key while you juggle the camera. The other hole is for a second M4 nut and bolt for mounting onto Moclub's attachment. The offset between the two holes corrects the camera's off-centre lens assembly so that it sits near the middle of the bed. ------ My original intention was to have a spring in place of the solid tube for the camera bolt, with the idea being that it would be easy to move and friction from the spring would keep it in place. But in practice, it didn't work well. So I changed it to a nice solid tube, and the camera still pivots just fine without all the complications!
