Saw this come through from Octoprint remotely. It was an 8 hour print and died about at about the 7:15 mark.

    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.
