![]() Remove the sugru from the packs and blend it together somewhat, but not so much that they merge into a blue-gray color (see below). It only took one package of each for this project. ![]() I removed that and blobbed some sugru in there, figuring I might be able to carve it into the right shape after it cured.Īfter discussing it with my daughter, we decided on a swirly pattern of blue and black sugru for the mount. When I got it all apart I found my suppositions confirmed, at the top of the swivel was a soft plastic cross that was designed to rub on the inside of the camera body, creating friction and keeping the camera in whatever position you placed it in. I had a sneaking suspicion that there was some sort of rubber or soft plastic bushing that was supposed to create friction inside that had worn down. The part of the swivel that stuck into the camera body had a tendency to flop around instead of staying put. I didn't want the extra weight of the camera pulling everything apart before the sugru cured, so I removed it completely from the swivel mount (see below). The webcam I was working with was basically three parts: the clip, the swivel mount, and the camera body. In order to do this properly, you'll need to remove as much of the weight of the webcam as you can before you open up the sugru.
