Hi everyone, i tried searching, but it didn’t give me a reasonable result, but is there an opportunity to connect a USB cam to one of the USB-Ports on the Artisan Controller Unit? I am missing a bit the visual monitoring functionality for prints. I know about simply using a WiFi cam or a Raspberr…

That’s a statement i can live with, even if it could be more friendly :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Best/cheap option is a simple pi cam ($20), and can monitor from anywhere.

That what i was thinking about. I have a Pi and somewhere in my computer mess a camera. Maybe i will use Octoprint Will try it the next days. Thanks for your suggestion

Octoprint is overkill if you just want the camera view. Many lightweight pi cam alternatives.

Thanks. Good to know - i expect the Artisan prints very well, so no need to adjust parameters too often during the print.

No, but it’s nice to just watch the progress from bed in the middle of the night. I also have a cam pointed at the control panel screen.

I would like to monitor the print process to verify if a print fails. Without camera i have to walk upstairs every time where the printer is located. I am lazy :wink:

I haven’t got an Artisan, but I have been using Octoprint (in the Octopi version) with an A350 since the beginning and the combination works well for both running and managing print jobs and files plus having the integrated camera. There are so many useful plugins like Octopod that enables push noti…

Many thanks. i will give it a try somewhere later. Not one of the top priorities, it’s more a “nice to have”. Maybe i am too spoiled by my previous printer with integrated Klipper and Webcam. Never mind, the Artisan is playing in a different league.
