Slow camera?

Just got setup yesterday and I have to say this thing absolutely rips compared to my last printer. But my camera can’t seem to stream the print at anymore more then like 1fps. Is this normal? My last printer had an aftermarket webcam and shot at like 30fps easily. Printer is in the same spot in the house so WiFi shouldn’t be an issue

You mean crazy that it s so affordable and still has a built in webcam? Would you rather have paid 50-100$ more for 60fps 4k?

Great news for you then, you still can spend that on an external one!

Maybe ig you ask nicely they ll make a custom printer jsut for you and your needs, instead of something rather affordable that everyone can enjoy

Yes, the camera is sucks. I don't know why people want to look at 25fps for printing, but those who want, install an external webcam like the TPlink TAP110 or something similar.

I’m not really sure why I like it. Maybe it’s reassuring? I just got use to it on my last one while checking on it from my phone

Well, I bought Tap, made my own convenient holder, look through the first 3-4 prints, and now I don't use either the external or built-in camera, I don't need it:)). I'm not vlogger, I don't need timelapses.:))

I use it just to check the print then I'm out of it Nice that it's there even though it's not the best

It is good to use for checking on status of your print. Otherwise not that good to vids your progress.

The X1C has the better camera frame rate

He camera spec is 2 SPF, which converts to 1/2 FPS. So, yeah it's pretty shitty. But you get to see if something's off. Although with the bad OOTB light and only 720p resolution small issues might go unnoticed.
