Wyze Cam Mount for Flsun QQ QQ-S

thingiverse

This is for mounting a Wyze Cam on the front of the Flsun QQ-S and QQ. It simply snaps onto the front metal side covers. Version 1: There are two separate parts, the mount and platform. The platform part is printed upside down; flip to use. Version 2: There is one combined part. Mount is horizontal. The part is printed upside down; flip to use. If you want to use version 2 with the camera on top of the mount instead of hanging at the bottom of the mount, print the model named opposite side (left / right = right / left). Version 3: There is one combined part. Mount at 90 degrees to get a 9:16 width:height ratio great for capturing the long height of the 3D printer from the side. Note: The Wyze app only supports rotating 180 degrees as a toggle. The app could support 90-degree increments as a drop-down menu in the future, [forum post here](https://forums.wyzecam.com/t/rotate-image-in-90-increments/7157/74). Note: Version 3 is great for Octoprint with its "rotate webcam 90 degrees counter-clockwise" toggle feature. If however, you want to use the Wyze stock firmware that came with it out of the box, there is a setting in the app to rotate the image. Camera view --> Settings gear icon --> Advanced Settings --> Rotate Image 180 degrees. I included variants to have the camera mount on the left, right, or both sides of the metal siding. The models with both sides require a different model printer with bed size at least 400mm length. Wyze released an alternative firmware that turned the camera into a plug-in webcam via USB A to USB A. Wifi and night vision seem to be disabled. That firmware can be found with instructions [here](https://support.wyzecam.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041605111-Webcam-Firmware-Instructions). I had success, plugged in the camera via raspberry pi 3 running octoprint. sudo vim /boot/octopi.txt edit lines camera="usb" camera_usb_options="-r 1920x1080 -f 30" sudo reboot I used this USB A to USB A cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HSS9KJY The camera was powered and sent video back through the USB A to USB A cable. No need to power the camera via the micro-b cable. Update November 2020: The Wyze camera can draw too much current occasionally (even if both USB and micro-USB power plugged in), causing the Pi to under-current and throttle the CPU. This affects print quality (micro-pauses and warts on print) Workaround: Prevent the Pi offering 5v power to the Wyze camera via cutting a piece of electrical tape and placing it over the +5v line (right-most pad when USB-A pads facing you). The metal top siding of the machine is magnetic, and the wyze v2 does stay in place there. I am planning to get another v2 camera to stick on the left of the FLSUN logo on top of the machine to get a full birds-eye view from the nozzle to the bed.
