Anycubic Camera Kobra 3 Series 3D Printer Camera,Ultra Clear Resolution

One of the great tragedies of 3D printing is a spaghetti project—you start printing, but something goes wrong and the project starts no longer sticks to the plate. If you’re starting an hours long print (it doesn’t take much for that to occur), you’re going to want to walk away instead of live with the sound of the printer. That’s where the camera and app come in handy so you know if you need to stop it in an emergency. First thing’s first: manage your expectations! This camera isn’t top of the line, nor are you paying a premium price tag for it; the experience will match that, but it’s fine. If I know my project didn’t do what it was supposed to, that’s all I need. Viewing the project in the app will be like a security camera from the eighties—slow to update, but good enough. My favorite part of this item is you use the 3D printer to build the case! There is a standard template for download on the packaging via QR code, and the three parts were about a two hour build in total. I almost wish more companies presented this as an option. All told, all the elements are here: price, effectiveness, and fun factor. This won’t be your conference call level camera by any means, but it is effective enough for what I need on my prints!

I installed it on my printer and it works great. The picture is clear so that I can see what is happening on the printer. The install was very easy. Pricing was very reasonable.

Lights are pretty bright. Only somewhat dumb thing is you have print the camera housing yourself. It's a super easy to install and once installed is an easy plug & play design that works really well with the Anycubic phone app or computer slicer.

I actually have 2 Kobra 3 combos and got a camera for the first one and I'm ordering one for the second. The camera itself mostly works. It mounts to the printer through a case you print out and is accessible through the app on your phone or through the anycubic slicer. Sometimes you may need to refresh or reconnect through the app because it will lose connection but it works well most of the time. It's my understanding that they haven't turned on all it's actual features yet so time lapse and even the led lights don't work yet but are supposed to work soon in a future firmware update. For now it's been extremely useful in checking my project and being able to see that if a print goes wrong whether I'm in the next room or at work I can actually stop the printer remotely through the app or just check on the status of a print visually. I'm glad I bought it. Once the firmware updates are available I would probably boost this up to a five.

Works great and makes it so helpful and saves a lot of plastic when a item screws up. Ecspecially since I am new to 3d printing and Making alot of mistakes lol. I had no problems with hooking up with the camera

Excellent camera that's very easy to install. You have to print the housing and bracket for it but the .stl file is on the thumb drive that comes with the printer (Kobra 3). The camera comes with a mounting screw that is used to attach the printed bracket to the gantry. Just plug it in to the left USB port on the front and you're good to go. Gives a nice clear picture although the frame rate is a little slow, but considerably better than the Bambu Labs A1 and P1 series cameras.

Well when I bought my 3D printer and it keep Cobra 3 I found out you can buy a camera for so I bought the camera and I have a 3D print the case for him as a kit like that something you can make yourself. So I bought it 3D printed a case for him mounted it on my 3D printer and it works well I use it for the app to see when my items are done so I don't have to get out of bed and walk over and look at it so and it was a very good price so get yourself one you don't have to get out of bed and look to see if your prints done

It works. The frame rate is so slow that the AI spaghetti detection only works when things start getting ejected from the plate. Picture quality is not good. I would not recommend.
