Mount your webcam to the MK4's X-axis, no modifications to the webcam required if it has a tripod mount (1/4-20 thread). 

I designed the part to have the camera sit lower to accommodate the height added by the webcam's base. I also included a printable ¼-20 screw that should work for most mounts given they aren't really shallow.

Instructions:

  1. Print ScottW's MK4_Cam_Clipon_Mount_X-Idler.stl
  2. Print this arm and optionally the screw if you don't have a metal one handy
  3. Snap the mount from step 1 onto the X-axis idler
  4. Using a 20mm M3 bolt and an M3 nut, attach the arm to the mount with the nut on the bottom
    1. Tip: use a small allen wrench to align the holes
    2. Tip: hold the nut in place with your finger while gently spinning the bolt until it catches
  5. Attach the webcam to the arm using your ¼-20 bolt or the printed version
  6. (optional) secure the webcam's cable with a velcro tie or one of the cable clips from ScottW's model page

Print recommendations (arm):

  • The part should lay on it's side (orientation should be fine from the model files)
  • No supports required (even on the holes, a cheeky little teardrop shape keeps them clear)
  • 0.2mm layer height
  • ≥ 30% infill, preferably in a 3d style (ex gyroid)
  • 3-4 perimeters
  • I printed in PLA, probably doesn't matter

Print recommendations (screw):

  • 0.1mm layer height
  • Infill percentage isn't super important as long as you have 3+ perimeters
  • PETG is recommended to extend the life of the threads, unless you are unscrewing it often, PLA is probably fine

I used this webcam from EMEET but any similar form factor should work (ex Logitech c920).
