Summary

Hello all,
this is an universal Camera/phone holder which can be mounted on your Aluminium rail.

Update (Dec 25, 2015): re-created as Version 2, optimized some things.

The point is I turned my old Android phone into an online webcam/video streaming device to monitor the printing progress.

I won't describe all the details here, but these are the basics:

  1. Stuff consists of 4 main pieces:
    a) M6 T Slot Nut (for 30x30mm ALU profile). If you have a 20x20mm ALU profile, download your M4 Slot Nut here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1061769
    b) mount.stl - to be mounted to the ALU profile
    c) leg.stl - default model is 150mm tall, should be suitable for most printers
    d) hook.stl - bottom and upper phone holders - print 2 pieces.
  2. you need 4x M6 screws and 4x M6 nuts.
  3. You need an old Android phone with IP Webcam package installed:

  4. Working local WiFi to be able to connect to the phone from your PC or tablet

I also attached an original OpenSCAD file which can generate all parts of this cam holder with any dimensions you like, except of the M6/M4 Slot Nut. (for M4 size, see link above. For M6 size, check here
