MK4 Camera X-Axis Mount - Generic 1/4-20

prusaprinters

Mount your webcam to the MK4's X-axis, no modifications to the webcam required if it has a tripod mount (1/4-20 thread). I designed the part to have the camera sit lower to accommodate the height added by the webcam's base. I also included a printable ¼-20 screw that should work for most mounts given they aren't really shallow.Instructions:Print ScottW's MK4_Cam_Clipon_Mount_X-Idler.stlPrint this arm and optionally the screw if you don't have a metal one handySnap the mount from step 1 onto the X-axis idlerUsing a 20mm M3 bolt and an M3 nut, attach the arm to the mount with the nut on the bottomTip: use a small allen wrench to align the holesTip: hold the nut in place with your finger while gently spinning the bolt until it catchesAttach the webcam to the arm using your ¼-20 bolt or the printed version(optional) secure the webcam's cable with a velcro tie or one of the cable clips from ScottW's model pagePrint recommendations (arm):The part should lay on it's side (orientation should be fine from the model files)No supports required (even on the holes, a cheeky little teardrop shape keeps them clear)0.2mm layer height≥ 30% infill, preferably in a 3d style (ex gyroid)3-4 perimetersI printed in PLA, probably doesn't matterPrint recommendations (screw):0.1mm layer heightInfill percentage isn't super important as long as you have 3+ perimetersPETG is recommended to extend the life of the threads, unless you are unscrewing it often, PLA is probably fineI used this webcam from EMEET but any similar form factor should work (ex Logitech c920).
