Monitoring 3D Prints

[dunginhawk]

so I found a random microsoft lifecam laying around, and installed octoprint on my random pi i had laying around, and in ten minutes i have this

Is 640x480 good enough, or would you need 720p?

At that point it would depend on pricing. Preferably I'm looking for HD for around $50 but I can go as high as $100 if necessary. I am a full time student after all.

What printer are you using?

teamviewer works better than vlc.
That said it's been a few years since i played with vlc. I just use teamviewer these days.
And for the vast majority of purposes 640x480 should be good enough.

640x480@20fps for $29.25:

It says today only... 720p (and wide angle which makes it perfect for a 3d printer...) for $49.99

But teamviever cant use an ip caméras right? I been using it for a while and i had a few conferences but only with others TV users. Just a dumb question.

This is so much hardware and software just to look at your printer while away. This is ridiculous.
