+# Webcam camera lens adapter
+
+Ever wanted to mount your camera lenses to a webcam?
+Now you can.
+
+![in use](imgs/1.png)
+
+This abomination is designed for *Nikon F*,
+but the codes is designed for the flange to be easily replaceable.
+My design target for the webcam was the cheapest one on eBay,
+but since many webcams share their lens mount, it should be rather trivial to adapt it.
+Variables you will need to change for that:
+
+* `screw_distance` distance between the two mounting screws
+* `mount_base` size of the square base of the lenst that mounts to the pcb
+* `mount_wall` its wall thickness
+* `base_thickness` and its height
+* `sensor_distance` the distance between flange and sensor
+* `sensor_offset` sensor plane offset to the pcb level. They usually pertrude.
+
+You will also have to specify the size of the infrared filter (in `module filter_mount`):
+
+* `l` edge length of filter square
+* `h` and its height
+* `lip` lip offset to rest the filter on
+* `lip_h` and its height
