📷 Arducam Pi Camera with Octoprint Octopi Webcam for 3D Printer Monitoring - 3.28FT/100CM Long Ribbon Cable for Raspberry Pi Review

Doesn't work with Octoprint for some reason, weird that it works with everything else, not sure why but since it's listed as working with Octoprint I gave it a star because it clearly not from the box. You need to change some settings which I have no idea how to do as they didn't give you any instructions on how to do it.

So I decided to set up an octoprinter for my 3D printer and decided to do it all and buy a camera. Connected, went into the viewer, but there is no picture. Checked all cables, nothing. The display on the camera was on, but there was no image. I spent hours trying to get it to work until I accidentally wrote that the camera isn't working. So on a whim I ordered a second one, same brand and all. When it arrived I left the cable attached and just replaced the camera module. And voila, it worked…

This camera has nothing special. Worked and was easy to set up. A big problem is that you can't focus manually. If this is for a 3D printer and you want to get it as close to the print as possible, I'd probably look for another camera that allows you to manually adjust the focus. The rest is a normal camera.

Bought this kit for my Octopi setup. I knew I would need more space between the Pi and the camera than regular tape would provide, and that's covered a lot of distance. Image quality is just as advertised with a decent focal length.

I bought Octopi time lapses but they were blurry right away. This v1.3 fixed focus camera can be adjusted using the V1 focus adjustment tool, which is printed on the Thingverse website. After adjusting the focus, the video is mediocre, with overloaded colors and brightness.

Easy to connect and operate. I got this to control my 3D printer in Octoprint. The picture quality was great and it was great value for money. For my application, a long cable made more sense. I was really impressed with the video quality on something so small.

Doesn't work with Octoprint for some reason Funny that it works with everything else, I don't know why but since it is listed as working with Octoprint I gave it a star because of it obviously not out of the box. You need to change some settings which I have no idea how to do as they didn't give you any instructions on how to do it.
