I was looking for a way to install a cheap 1080p webcam inside my Core ONE in the top corner. I found a cheap EMEET 960 camera on amazon that was mostly plastic. Taking it apart you can see the board is quite small.
This mount is designed with embedded magnets because glue never works well for me on magnets.
- Buy an EMEET C960 camera (Amazon.ca link here)
- Buy some 10x3 mm round magnets (Amazon.ca link)
- Deconstruct the camera by removing the front cover. This camera is mostly plastic and taking it apart requires nothing more than a flat butter knife. You can take out the circuit board and unplug the usb connector to get it free.
- Print this model. The attached bgcode has 3 pauses to insert the magnets. I used 0.2mm layer height and a light 5% infill. Suggest at least PETG for heat tolerance.
- The camera circuit board fits snug in the slot, no glue/tape required.
- Run the cable for the camera along the bottom of the rail where the other cables are. Cut the zip ties and attach new ones for a nice snug fit. The USB-A will fit out the oval hole in the back and you can run it out past the other wires.
For me I run it off of a Raspberry Pi that I had for OctoPrint and it just runs MJPG streamer and a script to upload to Prusa Connect.
I'll try and attach step files so you can possibly modify it for other cameras.
p.s. this is my first design uploading to Printables.
