C270 webcam holder for Ender 3 pro
Description
This is a remix of [Ptibiskwi's excellent design](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3326741) to hold the Logitech C270 webcam on an Ender3. As some have noticed in the original object's comments, the holder doesn't exactly fit the Ender 3 Pro as the piece touches the belt. This remix (a quick edit in Tinkercad) fixes that. # original version The C270-Ender3Pro.stl file adds a hole where the belt is, so that there is no chance it touches again. The piece still holds strong to the printer even with this modification. The C270-Ender3Pro-Stronger.stl file is the one I actually use on my printer: it also adds a little modification of the part where the C270 holds, as I found out that on the original piece, the 2 tiny cylinders were too easy to break (at least with PETG). I also adjusted those a few millimeters away from the arm, so that the C270 is easier to tie to it. # edit: V2 (2020/05/21) I found out there was still some room of improvement after using my version of the C270 holder for a couple months, hence here's the V2 of this remix! The main changes are: 1- The part that of the arm is attached to the printer now has two clips on the bottom, ensuring that it wont tilt right or left because of all the vibrations. This part still needs to be printed with supports. 2- The part where the webcam was attached didn't have a firm enough grip which caused the webcam to tilt down in long prints, due to all the vibrations. Another issue is that sometimes I need my C270 for other uses than my 3D printer, and as the original design implies to remove lots of parts of the C270, it wasn't very practical for me. The V2 comes with a removable "case" that self-attaches conveniently to the arm. The whole C270 can just be placed there, without any modification needed. 3- There is an optional holder provided (a short one, 105mm, and a longer 115mm one), if you want to prevent the webcam from tilting down due to the vibrations, if your C270, like mine, moves too easily due to the high-vibration environment. # V2 Photos Photo1: the printer parts, including the 2 different-sized optional holder (you don't need both, only one or none). Photo2: zoom on the added clippers on the arm, preventing tilt Photo3: case mounted in reverse on the arm, ensuring without any additional piece that the angle is 90°-ish. You don't need any holder if you do this. Photo4: case mounted on the arm, with the optional long holder (light blue) to get a perfect 90° angle. The shorter holder allows for a tigher angle if needed. I've been using this V2 for a few weeks now, and I'm happy with it.
