Safety Instructions
-Contains small parts which can be swallowed by

-Water is lethal for most electronic devices, unless
they are made waterproof. M2 MINICAM is not
intended for use in a humid or wet environment.
No liquids or other conduction substances must
get into your M2 MINICAM. Should this happen, the
module should be disconnected from main power
immediately, dried, examined and cleaned.
-Do not expose the M2 MINICAM to temperatures
above +50˚C or below -20˚C. Do not leave in direct
sunlight.
-Transport M2 MINICAM carefully. Never let it drop
or fall over or damage to the lens may occur.

in case of cutting failure. Always remain within
a clear line of sight of your CNC machine. Fire or
damage to your CNC machine, M2 Minicam or
personal property may occur.
Installation
1. Remove M2 sled from chains & place on lat sur-
face for easier installation
2. Plug M2 MINICAM USB into computer.
3. Open MakerVerse
4. On right hand side of MakerVerse search for the
webcam widget and ensure its toggled on & that
“HD USB camera” is selected as the source using the
cog wheel settings menu.
5. If you don’t see the webcam widget, select “man-
age widgets” at the top right side of the screen.
Scroll till you see webcam and toggle on
Pro Tip: we like to use XSplit or OBS broadcasting
software, then forward it’s output to MakerVerse’s
webcam widget for much more control & recording
options. YouTube can help you learn what these are
and how to use them.
6. Position your camera on the sled using the web-
cam feed to help ind the best position that works
for you. We recommend placing the camera about
10-12mm(3/8”) from the top edge of the center hole
so you can see the bit as well as the dust collection
port if it becomes clogged.
Pro Tip: you can revolve the camera a few degrees
left or right of the center hole to stay out of the way
of your wrench as you change bits on your M2 CNC.
WARNING: check above your physical camera and
ensure your router or any protruding features on
your z axis assembly do not crash into your camera
when they move up & down.
!!DAMAGE TO YOUR CAMERA OR M2 CNC MACHINE
MAY OCCUR!!
7. Once satisied with your camera’s position &
you’ve ensured the camera is clear of all obstruc-
tions and potential objects crashing down on it, use
a #1 Philips bit/driver or equivalent bit to screw the
camera into place with the provided hardware in
the kit.
Pro Tip: use a dab of hot glue along the edges to
hold the camera in its inal place while you screw it
in. You can then remove the hot glue once dried by
peeling it off or using a cloth saturated with some
household rubbing alcohol to easily get off stubborn
glue
8. Unplug USB from computer (if still plugged in) and
Route the cable as you see it along the sled using
the cable retainers provided. Then follow the rest of
your M2 wires off the sled and to your computer.
9. Reattach the sled to the chains on the M2 CNC
machine & plug in the USB.
10. Your camera feed should now automatically
show up in MakerVerse!
