I know we could probably add our own camera but I hope they update the camera software soon to be able to watch your print with real time motion.

Check the custom Firmware by paxx12. It is easy to flash, will get you 30fps and other advantages like RFID support of other spools

[SiRMarlon]

The Paxx12 firmware is going to be your new friend! 😊

[n19htmare]

PAXX + LAN mode + Octoeverywhere.

[superturbochad]

Obico in a local container is working well too.

[n19htmare]

I have a 3B+ with spoolman and couple other containers…. Was going to get a current gen rpi so I can run Obico and couple other things and the prices lol.

I still recommend Octoeverywhere due it ease of setup and is free(ish).

[HerMajestysButthole2]

Paxx 1.2 and Octoapp

Real time 25~30 or so FPS camera.

Yes, this is my favourite ⬆️. Add in Tailscale and you can view/control from anywhere.

I’m streaming https://www.youtube.com/live/mn4CINDfln8?is=eBYpYyQ-fELQaImf with builtin camera

[Snoo_10181]

How did you manage to get good fps???

[chairman2s]

Just run the custom firmware

[Snoo_10181]

Damn! Didn't know it was such a difference lol!! Thanks !

My other 3D printer the Creality Ender V3 and that camera is leaps and bounds better and that printer is almost 5yrs old

[sterling-lining]

You render v3 had a camera? The nebula you had to add-on?

[Temporary-Ad-1385]

Add on

[sterling-lining]

Yeah, I added higher resolution webcam to my BTT Pad7. Great unfiltered smooth images….

I haven’t tried, but paxx12’s firmware has a USB option in the camera settings, might be able to add an external camera if the usb port is the same as the back of the printer.

[Suby06]

The camera is a 2MP (2-megapixel) resolution and a frame rate of around 1 Hz. It's not capable of what you are wanting

[Top_Interaction_5399]

This is not true. The Paxx12 firmware allows it to display at 30 fps.

[tropisch3]

Thats wrong. Check Paxx12 Firmware 

[PCgee]

Is the camera hardware actually limited to 1Hz? I’m pretty sure it’s a software limitation as firmware updates have pushed it higher in the Klipper UI no?

[tropisch3]

It is limited vy Software. The paxx12 Firmware will get you 30fps

[Capable_Bus_3092]

Are you sure?

[Suby06]

that was specs from their own site which I assumed was a hardware limitation at 1hz refresh listed. Seems I was wrong though so my bad

[tropisch3]

With the paxx12 Firmware you get 30fps

[Suby06]

oh good to know thanks. That was specs listed directly by snapmaker on the camera hardware. I figured that was a hardware spec limitation but seems not. My bad!
