the NOZZLECAM

thingiverse

I had a 7mm bore USB bore camera kicking around and I set it up as CAM2 on my RPi on OctoPi. needed a bracket for those sweet close-up nozzle views. NozzleCAM didn't fit on the body, so I had to cut a couple of letters. Designed to snap into the vent holes on the CR-10 v3 without any messy modification, should fit the v2 as well. The part is pre-flexed by ~4mm inward so that the camera is easy to insert and the clips hold securely on install, which also clamps the camera. Could be lightened a bit, or add LEDs for AUX lighting, but the integrated camera lights work pretty well. Simply hand-measured with simple calipers and iterated the design 4 times to get it to fit nice on my printer. It took a few angle changes to adjust FOV and bed clearance. Clears the bed clips on homing on my V3, YMMV. Test fit before you home for the first time. Will include for CAD so people can adjust to suit their needs.Maybe it has a future holding something else as well? Enjoy.
