X Axis Camera Mount Prusa MK3 MK2 1080p camera

thingiverse

I have printed hundreds of things off Thingiverse to mount my camera on the X Axis of my Prusa MK3, some better than others. I initially used a C270 Logitech for my Octoprint Raspberry Pi 3B+, but the picture was slow and laggy. Eventually, I bought this Ausdom 1080p Webcam on Amazon for $25, and it's amazing. There is no comparison to its quality. The problem is that the mounting isn't standard, so I switched to Fusion360. Originally, I wanted something that utilized the extra Nema17 Stepper hole on the X Axis. So, I designed a rigid mount. Then, I realized I needed the ability to tilt at the perfect angle, so I made this mount to push in and hold with friction. It also has a locking pin that holds it all in place when rotated. I made a hole through the shaft to get a driver through to attach to the stepper. Many others will probably use this great camera over the Logitech C270, which is cheap and works amazingly well. Oh, and it's 100% manual focus, which is awesome.
