Arducam Pi Camera for Octoprint Octopi Webcam with Motorized Lens, Adjustable Focal Length for Monitoring 3D Printer, 3.28FT/100CM Long Extension Flex Ribbon Cable for Raspberry Pi

Most 3D models take more than a few hours to print, so you may wish to leave the 3D printer at some point in the printing process. Using an Arducam camera to monitor 3D printing can make you pay close attention to your creation. Since most cameras are not made specifically for the use of 3D printing software, it is impossible to obtain proper support from the manufacturer. Fortunately, Arducam can help you solve all installation and setup problems.
