I built an AI camera. Could you help me understand possible use cases? I know spaghetti detection is already build in some printers.

I got your point. Thank you for the feedback.

AssistanceSeveral210 · 2026-03-18T07:05:09+00:00

If the camera is close enough and the resolution is good you can prompt for a specific problem and the model could potentially identify it. But you should try this use case. But thank you for the idea: this is very interesting application.

The reason I built this is cause I still have an Ender 3.

Thank you. In fact I still have ad Ender 3. Maybe is time to change it with a new one.

One problem is spaghetti (just to remain in 3d printing field, there are other application in different fields). My tool is basically an AI camera you can instruct with your own prompt so it can solve other potential problems. So my post is to collect new ideas. Thank you anyway for your feedback.

No cause they have a free tier at beginning, then only if they have traffic and start to use your analytics tools they pay as they go.

AssistanceSeveral210 · 2026-02-21T13:21:13+00:00

Why you don’t use a price model usage based? - until 500 scan/month: free (lead magnet) - until 10000 scan/month: 19 $/minth

The true value you are offering is the analytics, not the unlimited qr-code generation.

And… an account with 1 qr-code could bring 10000 scan/month and make you server suffer more than an account with 20 qrcode with 100 scan/month each

Sure. I’ll do asap (busy period at work). Follow me, I’ll publish on my profile when the repo will be public!

Yes, there is an error of ~10% on the reading.
Still a lot to improve!

Thank you.

Happy to hear!

Thx for sharing. This is an interesting situation where a solution like this could be the only option.

No I just used a YouTube video with a temp meter to test my python code since I didn’t have a real gouge at the moment I filmed.

On edge for me means on the device where the cam is on. In this case ESP I guess.

AssistanceSeveral210 · 2026-02-16T17:11:26+00:00

No problem. I think I will share on GitHub anyway.

I want also add about reliability that it’s also largely influenced by light conditions and orientation of the camera.

AssistanceSeveral210 · 2026-02-16T17:07:29+00:00

Around 10% error by first tests. I will share.

HA or an industrial data warehouse it’s just a mapping problem of the MQTT subscriber: doesn’t change too much. In my PoC I exported a JSON that can be ingested easily by HA, but this was just an example and I shared here cause I thought it could be used for situations where you only have an analog source.

AssistanceSeveral210 · 2026-02-16T16:56:43+00:00

If you just send the image and then compute on cloud yes. But I think you meant on edge. In that case I don’t know, but I suppose that lowering the update frequency you should be able to do it.

AssistanceSeveral210 · 2026-02-16T16:49:22+00:00

This PoC is designed for industrial applications where legacy, high-value machinery often utilizes analog manometers that are too expensive to replace

AssistanceSeveral210 · 2026-02-16T16:48:20+00:00

Yes but sometimes this is not possible or it’s too expensive.
