I have the LB 8MP. Been working to fit it in my DIY 1200x600mm bed setup. Given how close the lid is to the gantry, I clip the edge of the lens. An alternative I was consider would be to mount the camera (via case) on edge then use a mirror to angle down on the bed. I could get the whole setup to be flush with the 2020 bar in the picture.
Curious if this has ever been considered as an option. I am going to mock up something to test it, however it may not be ideal given the optics at play … don’t know.
Also I don’t think there is a ‘mirror’ option on the camera setup. However I saw that if the test points are capture out of order it may flip the overlay image.
The alignment wizard should un-mirror the image (at least when you do a background capture) if you tag the markers in the numbered order. I haven’t tried it, but I expect that will work.
I redesigned the camera housing and mount post and have it fitting up against the lid glass - no problem on clearance now with the gantry. Also the camera was mounted upside down to accomodate the wire placement, however as Oz mentioned - when I finished the circles cross-hair alignment in the correct order (1,2,3,4) the image overlay was spot on. Thanks!!
