EyePatch
EyePatch is a physical privacy cover for the front-facing camera of a smartphone.
I wanted something a little more substantial than the tiny adhesive webcam sliders. EyePatch clips onto the top of the phone and physically blocks the camera. When you want to use the camera, simply slide the cover aside and slide it back when you're done.
The idea is simple: if the camera is physically covered, you can see at a glance that it can't see you.
Compatibility
This version has a 10.25 mm gap and was designed and tested on my Motorola Moto G15 with a phone case installed.
It is not universally compatible with every smartphone, so please measure the thickness of your phone including its case before printing.
Phones with a different thickness may require the model to be adjusted or scaled accordingly.
Print Settings
I printed mine in PLA with the 0.30 mm FAST profile, using supports and a brim.
The main body was printed in black PLA with a filament change to silver for the Skull Kitty logo.
The supports were removed after printing and no additional post-processing was necessary.
Design
The circular shape makes the physical camera cover clearly visible while keeping the mechanism compact.
The front section slides sideways to uncover the camera when needed and can simply be pushed back into place afterwards.
The Skull Kitty emblem is decorative and works nicely with a contrasting filament.
