A visual monitoring device designed for integration with the Voron 2.4 3D printer allows remote observation of the printing process. This accessory typically consists of a camera module, mounting hardware compatible with the printer’s enclosure, and necessary cabling for power and data transmission. Common examples include USB webcams and Raspberry Pi cameras connected to the printer’s control board.
Implementing this feature offers several advantages, including real-time progress monitoring without physical presence, early detection of print failures such as spaghetti or layer shifts, and the ability to capture time-lapse videos of the printing process. Historically, remote monitoring has been a crucial aspect of 3D printing, evolving from basic webcam setups to sophisticated systems with advanced features like object recognition and automated failure detection. This capability is especially useful for long prints or unattended operation.
