The Waveshare IMX179 8MP USB Camera (B) module is prone to significant overheating, which becomes even more critical inside an enclosed printer chamber. To prevent thermal throttling or damage, I implemented this simple cooling upgrade.
I added two aluminum heatsinks to the back of the PCB to help dissipate heat away from the sensor and components. I used heatsinks I had on hand, but the 8x22x10mm size is an ideal fit for this board. You can find them here:

They are attached using thermal adhesive.
