Video Control System for Creality

thingiverse

This is the video system I have prepared to control my 3D printer from outside the room where printer is. ActionCam and iPhone are mounted on V-slots on both sides of printer, avoiding the bed movement. I have grouped parts for each device in a zip file 1.- ActionCam mount. Access to live video via WiFi through iSmart DV from my iPhone or iPad. My camera is NK ActionCam 1080P WIFI, (bought at around 45 $). Parts to print: a) 2020 GOPRO Mount GIRO, a remix from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2736754 GoPro Mount | HYPERCUBE by PurchenZuPoden b) Case1, Case2 and Head1 from 3 DOF Axis Change Connector (Modular Mounting System) by rdescartes (no need to print Head2) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2358873 c) Arm_v3_Reverse_90 and M5_knob_short_v4 ( 3 units) from Modular Mounting System by yyh1002 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2194278. You can use different lengths of arms –or no arm at all-. If the part to print uses most of the printing bed, take care to avoid camera to hit the part, so use a short arm, raise the arm or use no arm in these cases. Other parts: • Tripod mount adapter, but most probably it is included with you ActionCam. • 3 x bolts M5 x 20 hexagonal head • 3 x M5 cap nuts • 2 x M4 bolts x 8 Phillips head • 2 x M4 hammer head nuts M4, for 2020 aluminium extrusión profile 2.- iPhone mount. I use an old iPhone 5C as camera. Access through Presence app http://www.presencepro.com/ a free app, that you can control from your iPhone, iPad, Mac or PC via internet http://www.presencepro.com/, (Free, registration needed). Good app, some 6 seconds delay. I have connected the printer with a Smart socket, so I check the printing process vía Presence and I can switch-off the printer when I am out of my house if the part is completed or if there is any problem via Google Home.
