Can the Beaglecam v2 control the J1/J1S or are folks just using it to monitor prints? The A350T/A250T and F350T/F250T are listed as compatible.
Thanks,
Todd
Hi @tpearsall
I saw one talented community member have posted the results of his experimentation a while back. You can monitor the printer (temperatures) and move ONE extruder (because it doesn’t support IDEX). Moving the Z seemed to be inverted and left the printer confused as to where Z was, and required a reset. You can learn more here: Snapmaker J1/J1s Owners | What happens when connecting the Beagle cam V2 to the rear port of the J1 | Facebook
Yet another lid riser. This is designed to be fully printable on the J1. No additional hardware is required in its most basic form, though there are optional interchangeable side panels for a hygrometer, feeding in a usb cable, or corners with magnets you place while printing.
All the side panel options are the same dimensions so can be placed anywhere. I’ve not glued mine in case I ever decide to change one, but others have epoxied theirs together permanently.
Clever makers show it’s mirror symmetric for speedier printing, or also possible to fit a full set on one plate with the J1. I made it and didn’t notice. 
At 40mm height, it’s lower profile but still allows to relax the filament bend into the hotend to about 135 degrees instead of a hard 90 degrees.
