Hypercam Assembly Guide

Hypernova toolhead overview

Hardware Required

  • 2 x Torx buttonhead M3 x 20 screws to mount to frame
  • 2 x Torx countersunk M3 x 14 screws (for mounts)
  • 2 × brass heat-set inserts
  • 4 x 2mm self-tapping screws (for back plate)
  • Hypercam USB camera module

Hypercam Assembly Step One

Install Brass Heat-Set Inserts

  • Locate the heat-set insert holes on each end of the camera housing
  • Heat your soldering iron to the proper temperature for brass inserts
  • Press one brass heat-set insert into each side of the housing
  • Ensure inserts are seated flush and square
  • Allow the plastic to cool completely before continuing

Hypercam Assembly Step Two

Attach Left and Right Mounts

  • Align the left mount with the housing
  • Insert a Torx countersunk screw through the mount and into the heat-set insert
  • Repeat for the process for the right mount
  • Tighten screws until snug
  • Do not overtighten

Hypercam Assembly Step Three

Identify Camera Orientation

  • Locate the camera lens on the front of the module
  • Identify the two LED lights next to the lens
  • Confirm the USB cable exits from the rear of the camera

The lens and LEDs must face forward during installation.

Hypercam Assembly Step Four

Route USB Cable

  • Feed the USB cable through the rear slot in the camera housing
  • Ensure the cable is not twisted or pinched
  • Leave enough slack for the camera to fully seat inside the housing

Hypercam Assembly Step Five

Insert Camera Module

  • Insert the camera module into the housing from the rear
  • Guide the USB cable through the slot as the camera slides forward
  • Seat the camera fully inside the housing

Confirm the following:

  • The lens is centered in the front opening
  • Both LEDs align with the front LED holes

Hypercam Assembly Step Six

Install Rear Back Plate

  • Place the back plate onto the rear of the housing
  • Align all mounting holes
  • Install the 2 mm self-tapping screws
  • Tighten evenly until the back plate sits flush

Hypercam Assembly Step Seven

Final Inspection

  • Lens is unobstructed and centered
  • LEDs are visible and aligned
  • USB cable exits cleanly from the rear slot
  • Back plate is secure
  • Mounts are tight and square

Hypercam Assembly Complete

The Hypercam is now fully assembled and ready for mounting and configuration.
