Instructions

Print the thing

Print out both the camera mount arm and the spacer block.

Mount the Arm

Hook the arm over the Y axis carriage just to the left of the center bed support and line the hole up with the one in the right side of the Y carriage. Slide the spacer block into the pocket one back side of the carriage where the hole is. Use a 1-1/2" #6 machine screw and nut to secure the arm and spacer block through the hole in the carriage.

Attach the webcam

Use a couple of zipties to secure the camera to the end of the arm. There are two mounting options allowing you to secure the camera to either the horizontal or vertical face of the arm.
