Description

I use a Tapo C100 camera to monitor 3D print progress. This is an inexpensive camera which is effective for this purpose and doesn't require a cloud service. I run a script on a Linux box that pushes images to Prusa Connect as well as viewing print progress with the Tapo app.

The mount attaches to the side rail. There is a small hook on the top part of the arm that slips into the slot on the extrusion/rail and then two protrusions that hold it in place with the help of gravity. It can be removed simply by lifting up on the arm. The Tapo camera is attached to the mounting arm using the 2 screws that came with the camera (they are M2x6.).

I printed this using Prusa's PETG with IS in 50 minutes so it is a fairly quick print. Note this mount places the camera pretty much at the bed level which is my preference - I'm  most interested in monitoring the first layers rather than the progress of tall models.
