Ps3eye mount system for reprap

thingiverse

I needed to find a way to mount a webcam on my new reprap (and to be used with my remote control/viewing software : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7187) and i had an old ps3 eye just begging to be used , so here is a relatively simple mounting system to secure the webcam onto a reprap's threaded rods! Instructions The default settings are for M6 rods !! Don't forget to adapt the mounting holes. Thing you will need: From the ps3 eye reprap mount file: print the bottom holder optionally print the top cover (if your machine is precise, you should be able to snap fit the camera's base onto it without the need to secure it in place with the cover From the rod clamp file: print two clamp holders: this is a bit tricky, my failing extruder didn't help so it might be a non issue : the best solution with the current settings in the opencad file is to print without infill mount the whole assembly in place with screws/nuts and bolts
