WebCam recommendations

Hi,

Im using Astroprint successfully for some months now, but I bought this weird WebCam from Aliexpress that has a super narrow field of view, so I have to position the Cam 1,5m away from the print to be able to see the full bed.

What Cams are you using? I don’t want to spend 20€ on a new one, maybe someone else is using a decent one from gearbest/ali.

Cheers

I’m using a PlayStation eye

Get one of these.

They have been tested and confirmed to work with AstroPrint :wink:

Generally speaking, Linux compatible cameras should work.

The ones on the list are pretty expensive. except for the playstation eye, which is a bit low res even for the price. Is there nothing in the 10-20€/$ bracket?

As for compatibility, I didnt look specifically for comaptibility, guess I was lucky. is there a certain standard, that is equivalent to “linux compatible” because thats usually not listed on the cheaper cams.
