Logitech C270 webcam mount for Creality CR10 or 2020 extrusion based printers. This mount attaches to the top support giving a great overhead view of the print bed, which will improve FOV for Spaghetti Detective, reducing false-negatives in the AI. I have tried many different angles for my camera and I will say that I much prefer mounting to the end of the X axis boom facing the front of the print head so that the camera raises up with the Z axis. However I was constantly getting false negatives in Spaghetti Detective as it recognised the glare from the edge of the print bed when it moves back and forth as a false-negative. This mount has been the best solution I have used so far. Installation instructions: Remove the plastic end cap from the 2020 top bar. Remove the 2 large hex bolts that connect the top bar to the upright support, they can be found inside the channel of the top bar. Slide the T-slot nuts in to the channel, holding the top bar in place to avoid damage to the structure, you may need to lightly tap the camera mount to help it slide in to the channel initially depending on how well you cleaned up the supports. Install the 2 hex bolts back in to the top bar and tighten them up adequately. Put the end cap back on the top bar. Mount the camera with a suitable screw or nut and bolt, the camera should have the lens on the right hand side to have your image up the right way (unlike I did on my first installation). Fasten the cable with zip ties to avoid unwanted interference. Total length of the arm is 275mm, .f3d file is included to allow you to tailor this to suit your needs. Length can be adjusted by editing just 1 dimension (over all length) in the first sketch and the height of the camera can be adjusted by editing the second extrusion. Enjoy.
