I discovered a great way to watch and keep an eye on your 3D printing while away or not next your printer on your phone or tablet. I used mini lightweight wifi camera which sticks to the front door with, an adhesive magnetic patch. Excellent video quality. [Artisan 3D Printer Cam]

Better solution is octoprint. Can monitor your prints and a lot more.

I’m thinking about it but can’t overcome the hassle of setting it up, and support is not very 100% as it seems. Do you use it? How does the fail recognition (spaghetti detective and such) works for you?

Setup is very simple, it’s been a couple years since I did that. But having the remote camera available view is worth any short term pain.

I made a camera support that is mounted on the X axis. Thus, as the print builds up the camera follows the height and you can see the nozzle. I use a Wyze camera, but any camera can be used. [Fam22 108 Surprise 3D Printing]

I just got the Beagle Cam V2. It’s mostly compatible with the Artisan. You can start prints from the camera but you cant see/set the temperatures. I always had to set the bed temp manually when i started a job. However it makes cool timelapses [PXL_20230724_220836379]

I know this is an old post, but I have the Beagle cam V2 as well for my Artisan, and it will not connect to the printer. I can only use it to view via Wi-Fi. I know the artisan is not yet supported, but you are at least getting more out of yours than mine will do. Which USB port did you connect it …

I think there was only one USB port on the Artisan? It was fairly plug and play but I don’t use it much for starting prints because I could not have it use just the inner zone for the heat bed. I could set the temperatures but not read it. I was not sure how to use the second nozzle.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah the artisan is definitely not exactly the standard setup, not surprised that it’s not fully compatible. I mostly just planned to use the beagle Cam for catching and stopping failed prints. Currently I’ve got everything plugged into a smart power outlet so if I am away and…

I plugged it into the mini-USB port on the back
