Saw this come through from Octoprint remotely. It was an 8 hour print and died about at about the 7:15 mark.
Well you’ve inspired me at least to A. Reposition my security camera I use to monitor my prints and B. Very seriously consider setting up an octoprint thing.
Right now I like to build post hoc time lapses but I have to take an SD card Out of the camera and put them together in video editing software.
Is your camera strapped to the zaxis of your printer? Mind sharing some info /photos about your setup? Looks nice.
Octoprint has been great. For sending jobs to the printer, restarting them, and of course for monitoring things. And it can integrate with Telegram to send these images of print jobs to you after they finish.
I use a Logitech USB webcam, you can see it near the red arrow here: https://imgur.com/a/TWAse0h. It’s just zip tied to the frame for now. This printer is an Ender 5 Plus.
Huh, was the height change of the view just an illusion then? I don’t have a frame on my Prusa but I Def want a view closer to this.
I’m really quite pleased with Prusa connect, so the only features of octoprint I’d really use are the time lapse options most likely, but it seems much easier to do this with octoprint then with a security cam (honestly not sure why time lapse isn’t a more Popular option with security cameras tbh.

Iirc the ender 5 doesn’t have a gantry, the bed moves instead for the Z axis motion.
