Hello all.

This is a multi-part solution for mounting a Logitech C270 webcam to a 2020 aluminum extrusion._ I designed it to be on the top extrusion of an Ender3 Max looking down at the build plate. _But will mount to any extrusion.

You will need:

(10x) m3x5x4 - Brass heatset inserts. [https://dfh.fm/collections/fasteners/products/threaded-heat-insert-nut]
The printed parts
(6x) m3x10 screws
(4x) m3x6 screws
(2x) m4x12 screws
(2x) m4 tnuts


**Instructions**

Insert (8x) m3x5x4 heatset inserts into the main_body
Insert (2x) m3x5x4 heatset inserts into the back of the webcam_mounting_arm
Insert your Logitech C270 webcam, cord first, into the main body.
Attach webcam_main_body_front with (4x) m3x10 screws
Attach webcam_mounting_arm to the back of the main body using (4x) m3x6 screws
Attach webcam_mounting_arm_tnut_slot to the rear of the mounting arm using (2x) m3x10 screws
Attach the entire unit to your 2020 aluminum extrusion using (2x) m4x12 screws attached to t-nuts.

 **Be mindful of your webcam wire. I zip-tied mine down to keep it out of the way of the printing volume. **

This is the Voron logo for the Voron 0.1 Mini-Afterburner tool head. 

This is not my design,  all credits go to the Voron team.

 I am uploading this for anyone who wants to do a multi part print for their tool head and have the logo in a separate accent color or colors.

Voron 0.1 Mini-Afterburner Cowling Logo

This is the Voron logo for the Voron 0.1 Mini-Afterburner tool head.

I should note, I haven't tried this with the stock extruder. I use the OMG extruder v2 in a bowden configuration.

This has been tested with a direct drive set up as well, and works with the motor mounted in any direction except for the right.

I've spent the better part of 6 months printing, and reprinting many different iterations of drag-chains, or cable chains, for the Ender 3 Max. I think I came up with a pretty decent solution. I have removed my filament runout sensor, but this should still work with it.

This package contains 4 files.

1) Hotend Connection
2) Extruder End Connection
3) Cable Chain Link
4) Cable Chain Cap

I HIGHLY recommend printing these parts in ABS, or a similar high temperature resistant filament. PLA will end up sagging, and failing over time.

All of these parts are oriented in the correct printing position aside from re-centering the models.

No supports are needed.
*The cable chain end links printed fine with NO SUPPORT in all 30 different test prints I did  plus all the chain links. They will print fine with NO SUPPORT.

Print the following amounts:

Hotend Connection 1
Extruder End Connection 1
Cable Chain link 15-20
Cable Chain Cap 15-20

You will also need:
m3x8 x2
m3 nut x2

Recommended Print Settings
Filament: ABS, ASA (any high temp resistant filament.)
Resolution: .2
Infill: 40% (Triangle, Gyroid, Cubic)
Supports: None


STEPS:

1) Hotend connection is designed to slide into the top, back part of the stock Ender-3 Max x-carriage. The cable chain connection should be on the right side of the x-carriage plate. [The side closest to the LCD] It'll be a tight fit, but it is meant not to move.

2) Extruder End Connection. Remove the 4 screws holding the filament runout sensor on, and remove sensor. Place extruder end connection on the far left side of the extruder arm mount and line up the two screw holes. Insert screws and secure with nuts from the bottom. This piece is designed to be a bit flexible to be able to route your cables into the chain. Be gentle, this piece may also be a bit fragile.

3) Replace filament runout sensor

4) Link 15-20 cable chain links from the extruder end connection to the hot end connection. Connecting links to the Hotend Connection and the Extruder Arm Connection are going to be very tight. They are designed to be pretty firm to help them from popping off easily. Print extra pieces incase anything breaks. Be careful connecting to both Extruder end and Hotend side.

5) Add 15-20 cable chain caps to secure your cables inside of the chain.

That should be everything. Let me know if you need help. 

This is based on a few different designs found on thingiverse, and here on thangs. I'd like to credit "OpenDorrPolicy " for the base hot end design, and "neilbalch" for the cable chain link and caps. Check out their designs! 

The Hotend Design was initially designed by OpenDorrPolicy on thingiverse. I remixed the creation to make it thicker, denser, fit better, and re-designed the holes to fit the chain links.

The Chainlinks and chain caps were based on a design I found from neilbalch, here on thangs. They are unaltered. They are the most superior printed cable chain design I have been blessed to come across. I recommend them highly for any cable chain need.

The Extruder Arm Connect was designed entirely by me in Fusion 360.

**This is a work in progress. While this part is functionally complete, I am in the process of designing it to look a little better. The cosmetic design will change over time
