This model works with many cheap 1080p webcams that use a 55x19.5 mm PCB with three mounting holes. This gives a significant increase in resolution, and for many cameras brightness as well. Additionally some cameras have an adjustable focus ring. The one I used had a glued ring but it was easy to remove the glue so I could focus the camera on the middle of the build plate as shown in the photo comparison. This modification does not require any software changes to the printer and does not occupy the front USB port!
I used this camera (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088TQZ5H5 $11 at tiime of writing under the Konnek Stein branding).
thee of the original m2 self tapping screws were reused for the new case. three 3x6 mm standard voron-sized magnets were glued into the back of the mount to securely fix it to the side panel.
The USB cable that came with the webcam was cut and run down the channel where the original Centauri Carbon camera cable went, and then I crimped JST XH terminals on and swapped the original connector housing onto the newly crimped terminals as shown and plugged the new camera into the printer board. Alternatively you can cut the original cord and solder the USB wires on if you don't have crimping hardware.
