The lockdown and subsequent work-from-home orders due to the COVID-19 outbreak has made clear the need for video conferencing going forward. I found myself needing a webcam for my desktop.
Doing some digging on Amazon, you’ll find that a high-quality webcam can be had for a fairly cheap price if you are willing to forgo the plastic case and a brand name. Generic PCB webcams like the one below can be had for half the price of a comparable Logitech webcam. While I was at it, I also picked up one for my 3D printer so I could monitor print status remotely using my Octoprint server.

All that’s left to do is figure out how to mount the webcams. I came up with two designs in Solidworks. For my desktop, I designed a mount that clips onto the monitor bezel. For the 3D printer, the mount attaches to one of the main bolts on the frame. Both designs have a toothed joints so that I can adjust the pitch and yaw of the webcam to point in the direction I want.
Monitor mount. 3D printer mount.
Both were printed in PLA on my Anet 3D printer and assembled with M3 hardware. You can find the Solidworks files for both of these projects on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4364111
