Camera Mount for Delta Flyer

Camera Mount for Delta Flyer

This is a small, adjustable camera mount for Delta Flyer by Rolohaun, with inspiration from Kanrog :)

There are horizontal and vertical versions. Vertical is strongly recommended for the best field of view!

Assembly Instructions

Pick the orientation you want and print motor_cover_{orientation}.stl and webcam_carrier_{orientation}.stl. Use the same filament you used for the Delta Flyer itself. I recommend ASA.

You'll need:

• This 1080P USB camera, 150 degree FOV - £7.89 on AliExpress

• USB-A male-to-female extension cable - £3.79 on Amazon

• 2x M2 hex nuts

• 2x M3 hex nuts

• 2x M2x6 screws

• 2x M3x10 screws

The photos below are from the horizontal mount, but the instructions are the same.

First, gather your supplies:

Use the M2 nuts and M2x6 screws to mount the camera to the carrier:

Use the M3 nuts and M3x10 screws to mount the carrier to the motor cover plate:

Route the USB cable through the hole and plug into the camera:

Place the motor cover plate into the printer and screw it in as usual:

Use the USB extension cable to connect the camera to the MCU's USB port. For a tidy look, route the cable through the cable organizer cover.

Configuration

You'll need to configure Crowsnest and Moonraker. Open crowsnest.conf and add the following:

[cam 1]
mode: ustreamer
port: 8080
device: /dev/v4l/by-id/usb-icSpring_icspring_camera_24091116320721-video-index0
resolution: 1280x720
max_fps: 15
v4l2ctl: white_balance_automatic=1

Save the file and close it, then open moonraker.conf and add the following:

[webcam bed]
location: printer
service: mjpegstreamer-adaptive
target_fps: 15
target_fps_idle: 5
stream_url: /webcam/?action=stream
snapshot_url: /webcam/?action=snapshot
aspect_ratio: 16:9
flip_horizontal: false
flip_vertical: false
rotation: 0

If you're using the horizontal mount, use rotation: 90.

Save the file and close it. Finally, connect to your Delta Flyer via SSH and run:

sudo systemctl enable --now crowsnest
sudo systemctl restart moonraker

That's it! Enjoy your webcam stream on Mainsail 🎉
