Description

I have been using cheap Endoscope Cameras from Amazon, and I always keep an extra on hand as a spare. Video quality could be better, but it gets the job done. Not too bad for under $20.00. My new Bambu A1 arrived a few days ago, and the built in cam just was not what I am used to seeing. I was inspired by an ESP32-Cam mount by @ElJeffe, and adapted my Artillery SideWinder X2 endo cam mount. Here is the result. I highly recommend printing with PETG. In my example, I used Translucent Aquas by Atomic Filament. If using multi-color, I recommend printing each part on their own plate. Enjoy being able to watch up close.

 

Update:  I purchased a new autofocus endoscope, here.  Cost is a little more, and the diameter was bigger.  I made a few changes to adapt. The result is uploaded. Same print profile as the smaller version. New video is uploaded showing external camera and the new autofocus endoscope.

I love it. I was thinking about doing this. I have a few ESP32 cams laying around. Maybe add a mount to zip tie the cable to the toolhead. Much cleaner then how mine is now. A project for the weekend. Thanks.

What do you connect the camera to? I am assuming there is no way to connect it to the printer and see it in the app

Right now, I connect to a QNAP T451+. it has 4 USB ports, and has software that can monitor 3 cameras with the free license. I have two cameras monitoring the A1. On my previous printer, I used Octoprint.

Ok, I have seen some people use PIs for other cameras and didn't know if you have a plug in to get a PI video feed into the bambu apps

I read in a recent Octoprint forum that an integration is in the works.
