Webcam Mount for Printrbot Simple Metal Heated Bed

thingiverse

This is a straightforward attachment designed for hooking up a webcam onto the top-right angle of a Printrbot Simple Metal 3D printer that features a heated bed. To observe the assembly in action, take a look at the demonstration video provided below. It's also recommended to go with the Logitech C535, which works seamlessly alongside Octoprint or Octopi on Raspberry Pi 2 B+. The device allows for precise focus up close, as low as 7cm - this is not something that generally applies to less expensive models under normal circumstances, since they often yield a hazy outcome at anything beneath 40cm. The mounting comes equipped with built-in rotating and adjustable parts, enabling a versatile setting tailored according to personal preference. To ensure a secure fit prior to the printout process itself, take a look at the Instructions tab below for step-by-step directions on test-printing size specifications beforehand by customizing using an appropriately-sized dimension within Customizer that allows sufficient yet non-threatening groove spacing. I personally made use of Printrbot's pre-set PLA printing options provided within their standard Cura files, combined with the vibrant orange filaments courtesy of Hatchbox. By following these guidelines, a precise output can indeed be achieved but note that it comes with some slight compromises; in order for this design to fully comply, modifications need to be carried out manually utilizing Customizer. Before proceeding with a complete printing operation, first initiate the print of the Size Test by using an adequate level within the Customizer settings. The next stage would then involve fine-tuning adjustments for the mounting part using same file until achieving ideal friction levels but preventing any unwanted warping or scraping actions from taking place throughout.
