Description
I had one of those OV56xx USB camera module boards laying around (mine was OV5640 I believe) and decided to repurpose it as my print cam, so here you go. These modules are usually used in laptop LCDs to provide webcam in the bezel and such applications and you can buy them virtually everywhere. As you can see, this one is mounted with M3 screw to the free spot on X-axis motor body which provides a great sideview and can be manually tilted up and down. There is an example of the view in the gallery.
You can use pretty much any material, there's a small support to keep the collar nice and round. The file is PrusaSlicer flavored, so be careful when importing into some alternative.
