I’m using 1.75 mm Hatchbox ABS filament, which prints quite nicely even though I don’t have an enclosed printer. The final mount was printed out of black ABS on my Printrbot Simple Metal with 25% infill at a layer height of 0.15 mm. I then exported the STL file for printing. Then I filleted all of the edges for strength and to make this easier to print. Since the camera was going to snug up against these ribs when tilted downwards, I used a profile gauge to measure the curvature of the camera, scanned the result, scaled it to size, and then used that to match the rib geometry to cradle the camera.įinally I created a hole through the center of the part for the M4 bolt that’s going to mount this to the aluminum extrusion. This arm was also offset from the mount centerline so that the camera body sits over the middle of the mount.īack on the main body of the mount, I added some ribs to either side to give the mount some stiffness and prevent the camera from tilting all the way down into the extrusion’s mounting screw. These offsets were just eyeballed based on what looked right. From there I created a supporting arm going up to the camera’s pivot point, offset away from the base to allow the camera to pivot and to provide clearance for the mounting hardware. To start, I created a simple rectangular base that’s slightly smaller than the 20 mm extrusion to avoid interference with other parts. Now that we know what the mounting point of the camera looks like, it’s time to do the 3D design for the mount. This needs to stay in place in order to make the new attachment bolt fit snugly. Note that inside of this pivot is a small white sleeve bearing.
With the original mount removed we can measure the mounting/pivot point on the back of the camera to make the new part. After removing the screw, the pin can be pushed out with a screwdriver and the mount will fall off. These can be pried up with a small flat-head screwdriver, revealing a tiny Phillips-head screw holding the assembly in place. On either side of the pivot point there are two rubber discs. That means the first step of this process is to take apart the monitor mount that comes with the webcam and figure out how to attach to the camera directly. The C270 webcam has automatic light correction to adjust for the best picture quality, and Logitech fluid crystal technology makes for smoother video and sharper pictures in richer colors with clearer sound.Unlike some of Logitech’s nicer webcams like the ubiquitous C920, the C270 doesn’t have a 1/4-20 mounting point on it to attach a regular tripod. A built-in microphone with noise reduction technology makes your videos or Skype calls clear. The Logitech C270 is an affordable webcam that films in 720p HD or takes 3MP photos. The C270 has 1-click Facebook and YouTube upload, digital zoom, and UVC compliant.
