Corner bracket for Tapo C100/C110 camera on Prusa CoreOne

I use a Tapo C100 camera because I could not wait for the Buddy3D Camera, CORE One. It installs with two or three neodymium magnets in the frontmost topmost left corner of the enclosure. It streams beautiful images in real time that can be viewed with the Tapo app on Android or iOS. Integration with PrusaConnect requires a Raspberry Pi or some similar contraption, which I do without.

Steps:

Print the part in PETG or better, for temperature resistance. Superglue 20x3 mm neodymium magnets in the recesses provided. You may get away with using only one or two magnets but one recess per axis is provided. Place two M3 inserts in the two holes provided, making sure they are quite vertical. Note that the face of the part is slanted to keep the camera looking a few degrees off to the right.

Pry the camera board from the plastic enclosure using a spudger and some finesse. Disconnect the speaker. You may remove the daughter board which the lens juts out through, or just leave it in place. The daughter board provides IR lighting, which will allow perfect vision in night mode if you prefer to turn the chamber lighting off.

Screw the board in place using two spacers and two nylon M3x10 screws. Metal screws may be used but you need to be careful not to shortcircuit anything. Route the power cable as you see fit and place the camera power brick in a convenient location. You may also feed the camera with a 9VDC stepdown converter from the main printer 24VDC supply.

Turn the chamber lighting way down, as it is far too powerful for the camera sensitivity.

Watch the video feed on your tablet or smartphone from anywhere in the world.

Enjoy!
