Absolutely agree... the resolution increase was to just see how it will behave, it's not much better (cant really tell a difference). you can set it lower though.

But the restart timer looks to be a way to improve performance... maybe longer than 10 sec will work better, i just passed 5 days with out a failure, but i had to restart the printer for other reasons (relocation).
the web page camera viewing is set to a smaller size (600 x 450) so really... if we wanted to optimize the best for the web page... we should force the res to VGA in the config file. This would be the closest size, and theoretically be the lightest from a memory/utilization standpoint.

Hello everybody, Hope you are all well. I am happy to inform you that the new firmware has been approved after testing. This means we will move forward with the release next week. This me

This was my overall impression unfortunately. Hardware is great, software really lets it down and in minor but frustrating ways. It's just lacking the polish that I expected from a printer at this pri

Hi @danieledge123, thank you for your message.
It is true that the camera sometimes loses connection and this has been known for a longer period of time, but it doesn't mean it has gone ignored or that we never tried to fix it. We have launched fixes in the past which improved the connection with the webcam, but not entirely yet.
I like to think it is a fully supported professional 3D printer. Unless I am wrong we are talking on a platform we have created where you can talk and learn from peers and where you can talk to our developers directly, and our developers are actively working on fixing this issue in the next firmware.
I am happy one of the other users has found a way to make the stream more reliable for you, and if it works for you I see no reason why you should stop using it. But technically, we wouldn't recommend increasing resolution to the webcam, as the increased resolution could contribute to loosing the feed. Increasing the timer to 10 seconds we see no harm in this, and our developers also took note of it and will evaluate if it can be used to further improve your experience.
I hope this helps and shines a slightly different light on the situation, knowing that it does have our attention and a fix is underway. Hopefully you have a good weekend, thank you for your time!
