This started with a simple idea; I would like to be able to monitor my 3D prints from a different room. While I was having this thought Zack Freedman made a video, and things spiralled from there.

The camera is the Mintion Beagle camera. It is compatible with Marlin 3D printers, that work on baud rate 115200. There is an official compatibility list, which includes future supported models. My Snapmaker 2.0 A250 printer is supported, but its Luban slicer is not (yet).
