I needed a corner bracket to put an OV9732 camera (bought on Aliexpress) with wide angle lenses onto my enclosed printer so I could monitor my prints remotely using Obico and make some timelapses. My intention was to mount it on the corner so it would not be in the way of the motion system/print head as my Sethi3D Farm enclosure is rather tight on that matter and other solutions such as a Logitech C270 camera simply wouldn't fit as they would be in the way of the moving parts. 

Done this quickly in Tinkercad, still haven't printed it yet (will do it soon and when it's done I'll add the real part photos, but did by the measures). So, it's still a work in progress so far. It has a cutout for the JST connector on the back of the camera module. 

To mount the camera into the bracket (and the bracket into the enclosure) just use VHB tape. If you want, you can bolt the bracket to the enclosure using M3 bolts and nuts, but VHB tape will do. 

Also included is a version with the camera tilted 10 degrees down, so you can film from a little above. Recommend using a wide angle lens with the mount. 

I designed this with the Sethi3D Farm in mind but it's an universal part that should fit any enclosed 3D printer with right angle corners on the inside. 

I have to say I'm quite pleased with the image quality of the camera, good resolution and sharp colors (as shown on the Mainsail screenshot).  Better than the Logitech C270 with wide angle lenses I have on my other printer.
