WebCam X Carriage mount. Hinged for WebCam Angle.

myminifactory

WebCam X Carriage mount. Hinged for WebCam Angle adjustment. This bracket fastens to my X Carriage, moves with carriage, and does not give much space between bed and top of carriage. May not fit your 3D printer. The design has a hinge to set the WebCam angle. It takes a 4mm hex head bolt, 55mm long. The file "Head_8mm_hole_hinged_WebCam_X_Carriage_Mount.stl" has a hole for my Creative Labs IM LiveCam. It has timing belt grips for a 5mm pitch timing belt with the teeth pointing into the model. These timing belt grips have slots for the bolts so may be snugged down then moved before final tightening of the Timing belt. Make sure your WebCam and any cables will fit without knocking into anything, such as my Bowden Tube feeder. When my carriage is raised high and to the left, this unit catches the tube and knocks it. As the WebCam is angled, it can be made closer to the print bed, so a careful balance between WebCam angle and WebCam height distance from the Print Bed is needed. The Creative Labs IM LiveCam gets about 2mm from the print bed surface. A change in nozzle height will have an impact, even Z-Probe could affect it, as there's only the distance from the Print Bed to the Top of the carriage to mount the Web Camera in. I use YawCam for remote streaming of a 3D print to help keep an eye on major issues. This software does not give control of the 3D printer. YawCam is another WebCAM software, remote viewing via web browser at http://www.yawcam.com.
