After a considerable amount of searching alternatives I dropped across this camera on Amazon UK: which appears to be similar (if not identical) module, and reportedly works with Lightburn. Problem is for UK users like myself is that importing an official Lightburn camera module is a costly exercise - not just the purchase price but we also get stung for import duties and VAT (and shipping) on top.

So I have to conclude the Logitech 920 is not a suitable camera. Add to that the resolution the 920 provides using the old capture method is only 640x480 (that's why Lightburn author changed to a new modified capture method but sadly that won't work for the 920). The angle of view is only 70% or so which, while OK for the Neje Master 2, is not going to be wide enough for the bed of the Sculpfun S9.

Fixed Pattern Noise: < 0.Looks like I'm talking to myself but, meh.Īlthough I have the Logitch 920 working as it should the results are not great.

Maximum Image Transfer Rate: S/N Ratio: 34dB.

Note that there will always be a bit of image loss from undistorting the image, so you should always err slightly toward having a little extra room. For most users, this will mean mounting the camera to the open lid of the laser.

On a larger 700 x 500 mm laser using the 140 degree lens, divide 700 by 1.8, giving 389 mm above the bed, minimum, to see the whole thing.

On a typical 300 x 200 mm K40 laser using the 140 degree lens, divide 300 by 1.8, giving 167 mm above the bed, minimum, to see the whole thing.

In order to determine the minimum height above your table to see the whole laser area, use the wider of the two lengths of your system and divide by 1.8. We can also install the camera into the camera mount for you so that you do not have to deal with adhesives and receive a completed unit that is ready to install and use: LightBurn Camera & Mount Assembly We have a Camera Mount and Cable Management Kit available separately. Note that this camera come exactly as shown, with no enclosure. The LightBurn Camera operates at full resolution for the best possible performance.Įach camera comes with a 140 degree lens and a 3 meter (10 foot) USB cable.
