hey Bijan, what is the mount that you used? Is there a stl of a go pro like mount and you used a suction mount to hold the cam? ---

[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BVR836S](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BVR836S) is what i used. Very simple, works great ---

Hi, did you manage to find a guide for setting up Octoprint with the Artisan? Haven’t used Octoprint at all yet, but I’d be interested to know that is involved in setting one up. ---

seem to be difficult to impossible, they are using their own API and in general it transfers only a limited subset. Maybe similar to a different model: [Problems with Artisan and Octoprint & Octolapse due disabled firmware commands? - Snapmaker Artisan - Snapmaker: where creation happens](https://forum.snapmaker.com/t/problems-with-artisan-and-octoprint-octolapse-due-disabled-firmware-commands/30564/2) ---

Bummer, thanks for the info though. ---

That looks pretty good, would you have the 3D print file available with instructions on how to mount it on the X axis? ---

I have the same question. Does anyone on here know how to connect the Beagle can V2 to the artisan? Or anyone have links to setting up the octoprint/octopi with the artisan? It would be such an easy solution. ---

I’ve used a BeagleCam V2 with my Artisan. It will feed G-code to the printer just fine but it won’t support the more useful time lapse modes and I’ve had issues with random pauses during printing. I used a USB mini to type A cable; the USB mini side connects to the back of the Artisan controller. ---

Great at least it kind of connects. Thanks! Now im trying to find instruction to move my old Octopi over from an Ender 3 to the Artisan. Seems like a better tool. ---

Here to chip in my own camera mount design. > **[Snapmaker Artisan GoPro Camera Mount (Best for Timelapse Captures) by peregrin5](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6862547)** > > Remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6401198The beauty of this mount (as well as the original design) is that it mounts to the bed, keeping the print itself in a static frame of reference so you can actually get stable timelapse captures.... This connects to the print bed itself so the print bed is in a static frame of reference providing better time lapses, especially if using Octoprint. I use a Logitech webcam modded with a GoPro connector but any camera with a GoPro connector will work. [Previous page](https://forum.snapmaker.com/t/3d-printer-live-cam/32204.md?page=1)
