Wanhao i3 Mini Logitech C270 webcam X axis mount

I created a Logitech C270 webcam mount for my Cocoon Create Model Maker (aka Wanhao i3 Mini). I based the mount on this tool holder design with help and permission from SirexwasP https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2747010 and then I used the C270 mount from this design https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2818559 by Kev31779. It works well, and with the C270 focus ring modification by Chris Warkocki https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3081838 and it produces a clear picture of the nozzle when I use it via Octoprint with the astroprint plugin. It's a nice cheap webcam too, with onboard processing so takes the load off the Pi a bit from my understanding. To Mount the webcam, remove the supports, and the arm clips into the metal work behind the X axis, then uses the screw heads on the end of the X axis to stay in place. No screws to fit it and it's easy to remove. The webcam needs to be mounted upside down (lens closer to the X axis), and in Octoprint the settings are easily changed for this. Follow the guide in the focus ring mod to remove the webcam stand and mount it using a M3 20mm screw.
