I have always looked after a good camera setup for my 3D printer, and one of the challenges was finding a good camera angle. With a traditional setup, it was hard for me to see the first layers when printing, and checking small prints. Most of the time the hotend was blocking the camera view. Then, I saw someone put a camera ON the hotend. Genius! This way, you can always see the layers when printing!I used an Endoscope, because of the small size and relatively close focus distance. The focus distance is not that big of a problem for me, because I wanted to position the camera a little further back to see the whole layer being printed.I wanted it to be simple to attach and remove, therefore I designed it to pressure fit onto the fan. You can secure it with a M4 bolt and nut, but in my case the pressure fit was secure enough.Watch the YouTube video: Parts:- Endoscope (AliExpress) (Soft cable)
