I have a new printer (Tronxy X5S) from GearBest and also an 8Meg Pixel ELP USB Camera from WebcamUSB designed to be included in industrial Applications, so what better thing to test than put them together and see what happens when I use OctoPint to co-ordinate it.
The Camera is capable of 3264 X 2448 and this video was shot at that resolution, I cropped it as the print was small. OctoPrint (mjpg_streamer) also has limited adjustments for the camera so its a little grainy, might also be due to lighting :). There will be a separate video on the camera very soon
NOTE: I am just getting to grips with this printer and also OctoPrint so bear with me :)
The focus is slightly off as it was preset for longer distance so I am going to fix that but in general it worked out great, this camera is capable of 4K video so I will be trying that in future videos
