FAQ
-
Does it work in an enclosed printer?
Yes, our camera is rated for 65°C but has been tested in an 80°C industrial heat chamber for 48 hours without issues.
-
Why don't you offer autofocus cameras?
In our experience and testing, autofocus cameras are not ideal for 3D printer use. For nozzle cameras, the lens shakes with fast movements, leading to quicker breakdowns and shorter lifespans. For enclosure cameras, most customers set a fixed focus for autofocus cameras anyway, so we opted for fixed-focus cameras for reliability, as it is one less part that can break.
-
Can I bend/fold the FPC cable to make it shorter?
Yes, FPC cables are flexible and can be bent. For folding (180 degrees), limit this to one time at the same spot to avoid damaging the lanes inside the FPC.
