The 'Waggle' 3D Printer Camera Monitors Print Jobs From Anywhere

— May 17, 2017 — Tech

The 'Waggle' camera enables you to see real-time video from your printer setup in order to see how the job is getting along when you aren't around to make adjustments or keep and eye on it in-person. The 'Waggle' can also be set to take periodic snapshots for you to view without having to actually take the time to view the live stream video.

The 'Waggle' 3D printer camera is the design work of Joseph Sungpil Choi.
