Anyone have any good idea for webcam MODS?
I'd like to install a webcam inside my UP Mini so I can catch my footage. Anyone got any good idea or suggestions for that kind of thing?

I too am interested in something like this.

I would do something with a little pan-head and magnets.
So you can find a good position - and the case is metal, so magnets stick very well.
What cam do you want to use?

Would a webcam survive inside the Up Mini chamber?
Unless making a custom box for it out of ABS might need to be done.

@matchpoint
Not sure how the above hack can help.
@brainzilla
Need to find a way to mount the camera and a way to keep the chamber lit up or light up on demand.
Any camera really, just one that will do the job.

Sorry I miss understood the post. You are talking about mounting of the camera, not getting a camera wireless.

This is what I do, mount a wifi windows 10 tablet in front of the printer with a 3d printed mount. Setup Wifi, turn on Windows Remote Desktop connection. Get a OTG micro USB cable with secondary charging port as the tablet only has one USB. Plug the printer into the USB, connect the USB charger, switch on. Install the UP software.
Then remote the tablet from your PC or even over the internet, if from over the internet use Chrome Remote Desktop instead.
This way you can control the entire printer, view the camera etc. you just can't remove the last print job.

Great idea! But how do you keep the chamber lit constantly?

One of the buttons on the side will keep the lights on. One is for 15mins and one is always on.

The Up MIni only have one button for the light which stays on for around 5 minutes then turns off.wackojacko wrote:One of the buttons on the side will keep the lights on. One is for 15mins and one is always on.
