Surface Pro 4 - Camera Cover (Hinged)

thingiverse

For the Surface Pro 4's front camera. Really wanted a camera cover to retain the functionality of the facial recognition. Why not a hinged mechanism? Flip it up to login, then flip it down for privacy. Compatible with tempered glass screen protectors and minimal increase in thickness when keyboard cover is closed Print with no supports, and snap the hinge into place (slightly flexing the non-tabbed piece helps) . Hot glue or double sided tape to attach to the SP4. May come up with a better way to attach, but hot glue work and doesn't affect the SP4's metal case when removing. Suggestions for improvement would be welcome. Future: Thinking about making a version that allows for an inserted pin for the hinge mechanism. As mentioned may also think about improving the attachment to the SP4. Print Settings Printer Brand: LulzBot Printer: TAZ 5 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2 or .3mm Notes: ABS works great for this thing. No supports, otherwise you'll need to dig them out of the hinge holes. Resolution doesn't matter, but .2mm looks a little nicer with a smoother rotation. Post-Printing Just snap the two pieces together. The pieces are thin enough to flex a bit to get the hinge pegs into position. How I Designed This Designed in SketchUp... took a few revisions.
