Reference video

The beagle camera is using the fixed lens, and the focus distance is 20cm.

We provide the default micro USB to USB cable inbox to connect to the printer, if your printer is using a Hi-speeding 2.0 socket, you have to purchase one Hi-speeding 2.0 to USB cable.

Plug the USB side cable into the USB socket on the back panel of the camera, and the micro USB is plugged into the printer. After the camera is connected to the WiFi, then click to run the app Bealgeprint and click the "Connect" button under the camera review window. Before connecting to the printer, you need to select the brand and model of printer to confirm the printed size. 

It depends on your review angle and model height. If you just want to monitor the model printing, we suggest you can install the camera at the right/left of the printer; but if you want to make a time-lapse video of the printing, we suggest the camera position is at the high front side of the printer or on the top of the printer. And we have designed three brackets for your reference, all of them are designed based on Creality Ender 3 / Pro / V2 3d printer. You can download them from Thingiverse.com.

Possible reason: Camera has been bound with another account

Solution: contact support@mintion email, feedback error, provide Camera purchase certificate (purchase channel and order information), provide Search in LAN page screenshot information

Possible reasons: Insufficient network bandwidth or delay

Solution: Try another network (Camera connected network/mobile phone network)

Possible reasons: high network delay

Solution: Try to change the network (network/mobile network connected to Camera)

Possible reasons: Open Camera before opening the printer

Solution: Pay attention to the order order or block the 5V pin in the USB cable

Possible reasons: The printer RPI PORT status is ON. After the port is started, the USB connection will be turned off and the GPIO pin is enabled

Solution: Find it in the knob screen and set it to OFF

Possible reasons: large electronic noise (motor/hot bed/large home appliances such as refrigerator), which affects serial communication

Solution: Use the USB cable/replace the printer's environment with the printer

Possible reasons: Camera connected to the USB cable of the printer has data transmission requirements

Solution: Try to use the cable/or USB cable with data transmission, instead of simple power supply cables

Possible reasons: Damaged data in the printer Micro SD card, causing the printer firmware to collapse

Solution: Demolition/replacement printer Micro SD card

This is some printer motherboard settings. When the serial port connection is established, it is reset. Camera is currently incomparable to this.

Possible reasons: The protective film on the Camera image sensor is not removed

Solution: The protective film is mainly to prevent the friction from transportation, and you can remove it. It is easy to find that it is affixed to Beagle's nose.

Possible reasons: SD is smoother/hd is higher in high definition

Solution: Switching the video stream mode

Possible reasons: night vision mode, when the ambient light is dark, the night vision mode will be automatically switched to better check the printing situation

Solution: Modify the mode to "Color Night Version"

Possible reasons: Began to print without Camera

Solution: Try to upload files via Camera and start printing

Possible reasons:: The printer is in a state where a serial communication is abnormal

Solution: See if the printing machine screen prompts the content, restart the printer to try

Camera supports Beagleprint/web pages to upload Gcode files, for details, please refer to the video

Possible reason: Camera time zone setting is incorrect

Solution: Select the camera through the phone Beagleprint, click the "gear" icon in the upper right corner, find "Timezone" and set the correct time zone

Possible reasons: The file suffix is ​​not supported

Solution: Update Camera firmware to V1.1.7, the new version supports more file suffix

Possible reasons: Camera Micro SD card is not installed/space is full/format is incorrect

Solution: The file is normal, and it will be transmitted to the Camera Micro SD card through the network. damage.

Possible reasons: When the printer enters a temperature cycle, the serial communication enters a tunnel stage (a certain blocking state), and the command printer issued by Camera will not respond to it.

Solution: Update to the latest Camera firmware, such as V1.1.7, update the printer firmware, the newer Marlin firmware may support interruption and heating, thereby responding to other instructions

Possible reasons: If it occurs in the automatic leveling process, it may be that the level of tone failure

Solution: This is determined by the printer firmware. Camera identification error stops printing. You can modify the G29 in Star Gcode, replace it with M420 S1

Possible reasons: may heal failure or heat -sensitivity error

Solution: This is some abnormalities in the printer. Please check the printer, cable damage/sensor damage/power supply power/PID parameter

Possible reasons: lapse photography mode (Clean Timelapse Video)

Solution: This mode produces a good delayed video effect, but due to some parameter settings, you may encounter bad printing quality. You can verify whether the printing quality is improved by turning off it.

Possible reasons: USB communication has a timeout

Solution: Printing serial port, there are certain requirements for serial communication rates. Using the USB cable only power supply will affect the communication effect, thereby generating timeout, packet loss, etc.

                  Printer firmware/motherboard influence: Some printer motherboards have different motherboard chips, which is also the influencing factor that causes unstable serial communication. The "Linear Advance" is opened in the printer firmware.

Possible reasons: Incorrect printer settings lead to some mobile instruction executions, and impact occurred

Solution: Set the corresponding printer model. If you cannot find your own printer, you can customize the printer and set the correct surface size

Possible reasons: automatically level the printer, when printed in the serial port, the first floor compensation data may be missing

Solution: Modify the STAR GCode G28 in the slice software, a new line of "G29"/"M420 S1" below, thereby enabling compensation, re -slicing and generating GCode files, uploading and printing.

Possible reasons: incompatible slicing software/not upload files and print/Camera Micro SD cards that have not been uploaded by Camera are not installed/space insufficient
