This is a LED mount for the Wyze Cam V2 as it loses it's Night vision and IR capability when it's converted into a webcam to use with an Octopi.
Leaving entire room lights on does not provide enough light under the nozzle to see the print and I have yet to find a simple way of adding lighting closer to the nozzle without affecting the camera sensor. The view in the dark is still not great with the Wyze cam but at least you can see if the print is having major issues saving you filament/time.
There is a purple haze when directed straight towards the print so I pulled the LED into the mount a bit and glued a scrap piece of filament to the inside of the mount in order to offset the light being so direct. These issues and the fact that the electronics are not protected will be incorporated if I decide to work on it again.
5V LED's and USB were used to avoid the need for another switch and so it can be powered directly by the Octopi.
