I just started working on some changes to the SD side of the mount, so the mount slides along the arm, as well as adding another piece that would allow the cam to slide along the arm.

I'll update when done.

Love it! I'd use the software for sure.

Cool I Dissambled a Microsoft Webcam (removed the frame and all), and saw that the camera itself is very small, so i just placed it in the corner (havent created a good mount for it yet tho)

Also been working on a program that lets me make timelapses of the camera inside the printer

No idea if i will ever finish it

Yes, the SD2 is hypnotic to watch, and I COULD watch it all day, but I do have other things to do.

So aside from setting up a dedicated PC, with TeamViewer, to monitor Pronterface (yeh, I'm working up to the repetier/marlin update soon), I decided that a video feed from the SD2 might be helpful, and beyond the usefulness of it, it'd be mad cool, and I'd get all the girls. or not.

I grabbed one at Microcenter http://microcenter.com/product/361924/P … _USB_Cable for $4.99, and took it off it's included mount. (it was 4.99 last week...)

I wanted to mount it at the front, and didn't want to interfere with any movements in the printer, so this mounts to the front /top frame.

I already had printed some long, curved, perforated pieces but they weren't correct for my project, so I put one to use here as an arm. All I needed now was a clip to attach the arm to the SD2.

See: Frame Clip Cam Mount.stl

Just for the fun of it, I'll also include the part I am using as an arm.
See: ParameteredColor9RingQuarters.stl

So now I can start a print and go do whatever else, wherever else I choose, and when it's all done, I can shut down the extruder & bed remotely.

Just for the fun of it, i think I am going to adapt the extruder fan duct mount, to accommodate a small cam for an extruder's-eye-view... that'd make for some cool video...
