2016.11.09 Added v3, based on v2 but with longer horizontal arm. With bed all forward and extruder at the far right, it has 0.5 cm gap from lens :) 2016.11.04 Added v2 that is very stiff and won't wobble. This is shorter, but you can't use the macro lens with this or it will hit the X axys. Working on v3..Also added a timelapse video recorded with v1. Lights are very poor, that should be the next mod :D Mounting a camera for timelapse\web monitoring was an idea I had from the beginning.So when I started planning the installation of OctoPrint I was looking around for a camera mount. The key was mounting the camera on the printer bed so resulting timelapse are much better.I found the beautiful mount design from Jerware http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:442063 and tried to adapt it for our Anet A8 (thus maybe it is good for other Prusa i3 printers too).So the back\front camera case and tilt arm are Jerware's original design, while the camera arm mount is my remix. You need: Raspberry PI Camera (v1 or v2 - v2 has better quality); Rpi camera extension cable http://www.gearbest.com/raspberry-pi/pp451150.html?wid=21 I bought three different sizes for maximum versatility; (optional, but recommended) 0.67 X Detachable Wide Angle Macro Camera Lens for Mobile Phones http://www.ebay.it/itm/122118851619?trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=421705232711&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT it's only 1,30 eur and you have a perfect wide camera lens for this application!
