A £5 Aliexpress endoscope and a 45m print makes monitoring and improving print quality and first layer issues 100x easier!

Been running for months now in a heated chamber! These cameras should be easy to adapt to most printers. It was only supposed to be a temporary addition to fit for troubleshooting, but it's holding up to almost constant use really well!

Any example images? Curious to know what this produces.

fhein,

Was it just plug-n-play on Linux, or did you need some drivers for it?

And as others have requested, some stills from the camera would be nice so we can see the image quality of it.

CmdrShepard,

How does it look from the cameras perspective??!

What do you use it with? A pi?

gundog48,

Yeah, it runs Klipper so the Pi is doing most of the crunching and also acts as a webserver. A long USB cable to your computer or phone also gets the job done. It's mostly to help with tuning and diagnosis, because you can actually see what's happening rather than just seeing the effects of what happened, and is meant to be removed after use, but I've still been daily driving it!

Uranium_Green,

That's igneous and much less bulky than some of my attempts at a camera for octoprint, can we see some photos from the video feed?

GullibleOyster,

CNCKitchen on YouTube has some great videos with it!

Siddharta,

Watch your prints fail in incredible detail!

I love it!
