My first own designed thing i made with my Ultimaker :-)

To be able to have an eye on it while doing other things, or to have an easy way to record it printing..

Cool!

Brilliant.

Now...

- Add a bit of motion detection software.

- Add algorithm that knows approximately where extruder is/isn't in frame (alternatively, key it off the color of the consumable).

- Automatically stop print if the big blobby thing at the bottom of the frame moves suddenly (i.e. basic motion detection on partial frame).

Result?

Automatically pause/stop printing if the print head (or your cat) knocks the piece out of place during the print, saving both consumables, potential damage, and lessening a mess to cleanup later.

BTW: D-Link's DCS-930L is available for $70 from Amazon. Supports 802.11*, hardwired ethernet, and is fully Mac / PC / Linux(pretty sure) compatible.

(Who is patiently waiting for his Ultimaker and... oops, couldn't resist... printrbot in the new year.)

This approach also works lol...

The main pro here is that the camera follows as your printbed moves in the z.
