Webcam Mount for Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000

prusaprinters

I designed this webcam mount to mount my Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 into my printer enclosure. It is designed to be installed to one of the IKEA LACK table's hollow legs.Installation:Drill a 2cm hole into the LACK's legInstall the “Hole” part, by screwing it into the leg with some short 3mmØ wood screws. Make sure the channel for the cable points upwardsIf you want to guide the USB cable through the leg, push the USB plug through the hole Insert the Camera's original rubber foot into the gap of the “Top” part and bend it to hold it in place. Make sure that the cutout for the cable points upwards.Push the dovetail of the “Base” part into the top part. Push the “Base” part into the hole, guiding the cable inside the channel on the top.Be careful not to crease the cable to hard. There should be enough space for a reasonable bend.Notes:If there's too much slack in the cable for your taste, just carefully feed more cable into the leg, while pushing the base part in the hole.Make sure that the exit hole is big enough, so you can pull the USB plug through it. It might be a bit finicky, depending on where you want it to exit.Depending on what printer you have in the enclosure, the camera might not be able to aim far enough to the left. for this case I added a 40° version of the “Top” part. The “Top” parts can be flipped to aim to the other direction
