Attaches Ender 3 Z-axis Camera Mount for Logitech C270 by Zotty with Ease. Instead of using screws, I opted for a small binder clip - it worked like a charm. LED strips were repurposed from a cheap battery light purchased at a local hardware store. The LED strips are plugged directly into the USB port on my Raspberry PI running Octoprint software. Initially, the LED strips were way too bright due to their default 1 ohm limit resistor. To adjust the brightness, I replaced it with three 47 ohm resistors wired in parallel. Double-sided foam tape was used to secure the LED strips firmly in place. A small drop of thick CA adhesive was applied to hold the resistors steady.
