What cameras did you add to your 3D printer? What is your favorite camera angle?

For me, the nozzle cam watching the first layer is my personal favorite (OV9281 image sensor).

    Mine is a simple PiCam attached to the X servo motor so it travels up and down with the gantry running through Klipper/MainsailOS. The image quality isn’t great but good enough for the task. Some additional lighting would certainly help things out.

    One bonus feature is that I’ve connected Mainsail to HomeAssistant so I can monitor and control the printer from anywhere with internet access.
