  "textContent": "\n\n (Webcam Uncovered)\n\nI needed to replace a notebook webcam with an external unit. The one I had on-hand did not have a privacy cover, nor could I find a simple one on any of the 3d model repositories.\n\nRequirements were minimalist design and functionality. While I found units specifically designed for this Logitech C525, they all featured intricate attachment brackets and required post processing after printing.\n\nInstead, I spent half an hour to design a fully parameterized cover, one printed with in-place hinge and without supports.\n\n### Design\n\nIt consists of an L-bracket with a hinged flap, simply mounted to the back of a webcam using two vertical strips of 3M double-side tape.\n\nAll aspects of the design are parameterized to allow re-printing for different webcams: heights, width, depth, thickness and hinge sizing. The third prototype was perfect. Free moving in-place printed hinge, protrudes below webcam just enough to catch the flap with a finger, and has a backstop to hold the flap upright.\n\nTo reinforce that the webcam is uncovered, I placed a contrasting RED X label on the inside.\n\n### Gallery\n\n\n\n (Webcam Covered) \n\n (Back View of Cover Stop) \n\n (Privacy Cover 3d Model) \n\n (Printed With Moving Hinge)",
