Summary

Wanted a simple mechanism to mount my webcam. Could not find a design that fit, so decided on this to use with a security camera mount that was collecting dust on my self.

A minimalist design that fits my webcam.

OpenSCAD source provided and can be modified for you camera's dimensions. Screw mount can be configured as needed for other standards.

• Camera: Creative Labs Live! Cam Chat HD VF0790
• Tripod mount: standard 1/2" 20tpi UNC

Thread library available in this thing.

Printed with the loop opening in the vertical position to avoid overhangs... No support required.

Dependencies

To use this design, the following one-time setup is required. This will install several packages, so you may wish to experiment on a virtual machine first. (NOTE: an X server graphics environment is required and this build process has been tested on debian and ubuntu Linux).

$ wget http://git.io/setup-omdl.bash && chmod +x setup-omdl.bash

$ ./setup-omdl.bash --branch v0.6.1 --no-excludes --yes --install

This will take a while to test the omdl library and build its documentation. Once complete, the library documentation will have been installed and can be viewed with the web browser of your choice:
