Anycubic Camera Kobra 3D Printer Camera, Remote And Real-Time Video Supervision, Time Lapse Photography Clear Resolution, Diy Frame, Compatible With 3/ 2 Series/Klipper

I installed it on my printer and it works great. The picture is clear so that I can see what is happening on the printer. The install was very easy. Pricing was very reasonable.

One of the great tragedies of 3D printing is a spaghetti project—you start printing, but something goes wrong and the project starts no longer sticks to the plate. If you’re starting an hours long print (it doesn’t take much for that to occur), you’re going to want to walk away instead of live with the sound of the printer. That’s where the camera and app come in handy so you know if you need to stop it in an emergency. First thing’s first: manage your expectations! This camera isn’t top of the line, nor are you paying a premium price tag for it; the experience will match that, but it’s fine. If I know my project didn’t do what it was supposed to, that’s all I need. Viewing the project in the app will be like a security camera from the eighties—slow to update, but good enough. My favorite part of this item is you use the 3D printer to build the case! There is a standard template for download on the packaging via QR code, and the three parts were about a two hour build in total. I almost wish more companies presented this as an option. All told, all the elements are here: price, effectiveness, and fun factor. This won’t be your conference call level camera by any means, but it is effective enough for what I need on my prints!

Camera quality is a bit bad. The time lapses are a nice feature and it’s very easy to setup and mount but the Ai Detection could use some work. I’ve had multiple prints stop midway because the camera detected spaghettification only too see there was nothing wrong with it. This being said though with one press I can just start it back up. If a more expensive one was released that fixes these issues then I 100% would purchase it.

Lights are pretty bright. Only somewhat dumb thing is you have print the camera housing yourself. It's a super easy to install and once installed is an easy plug & play design that works really well with the Anycubic phone app or computer slicer.

Well when I bought my 3D printer and it keep Cobra 3 I found out you can buy a camera for so I bought the camera and I have a 3D print the case for him as a kit like that something you can make yourself. So I bought it 3D printed a case for him mounted it on my 3D printer and it works well I use it for the app to see when my items are done so I don't have to get out of bed and walk over and look at it so and it was a very good price so get yourself one you don't have to get out of bed and look to see if your prints done
