Camera control For Boss Laser

Yes, I did install the camera and it is really working well.

I mounted the 60 deg camera I purchased from LightBurn very simply, just cutting a rectangular (5 inch wide and 4 inch high) 4mm piece of acrylic with two holes (1.55 inch diameter) 3.86 inches apart so I could use the lid handle bolts to attach the camera to the lid.

I just used some UV epoxy to attach the camera module to the acrylic on the far end so the camera was over the center of the bed.

With the 4 mm acrylic the existing handle bolts were not long enough so I needed to purchase two M4-07 x 30 mm socket heads from Home Depot (about $1). These new bolts were then about .05 inches to long to snug into the handle so I added a thin washer between the acrylic and the case. The handle was able to attach nicely after that.

The camera gives me a very good view of the work area and the software makes it super easy to align work now.
