Enclosure & Nozzle Camera V2 by 3DO Introducing the 3DO Enclosure & Nozzle Camera V2, a modular camera system designed for 3D printers. Building on the success of our V1 camera, this new version offers enhanced flexibility with interchangeable FPC cables and camera sensors/lenses, all supported by a single DSP PCB with added LED functionality.items needed for Nozzle Camera FPC Cable USB Cable Items needed for Enclosure camera USB Cable Key Features Modular System: Interchangeable FPC cables and camera sensors/lenses. Single DSP PCB: One DSP PCB for all configurations, now with LED support. High Flexibility: Various FPC cable options for different setups. Enhanced Lighting: Optional FPC cables with integrated LEDs. Modular System Overview The modular design allows for easy customization to suit various 3D printing setups. The DSP PCB remains consistent across all configurations, simplifying inventory and setup changes. FPC Cable Options (only required for Nozzle Camera) 50 mm with LEDs 100 mm with LEDs 250 mm with LEDs Camera Options Nozzle Camera (Glued): Lens glued in place to focus 3.45cm from the back of FPC to the object. Enclosure Camera (Adjustable): Lens focus can be adjusted by rotating the lens, FoV 120°. Specifications 4K (Sony IMX258) Sensor Size 1/3.06 Mega-Pixel 13MP Frame Rate* 30FPS@4K 60FPS@1080P* Operating temperature** -20°C TO 65°C FAQ Does it work in an enclosed printer? Yes, our camera is rated for 65°C but has been tested in an 80°C industrial heat chamber for 48 hours without issues. Why don't you offer autofocus cameras? In our experience and testing, autofocus cameras are not ideal for 3D printer use. For nozzle cameras, the lens shakes with fast movements, leading to quicker breakdowns and shorter lifespans. For enclosure cameras, most customers set a fixed focus for autofocus cameras anyway, so we opted for fixed-focus cameras for reliability, as it is one less part that can break. Can I bend/fold the FPC cable to make it shorter? Yes, FPC cables are flexible and can be bent. For folding (180 degrees), limit this to one time at the same spot to avoid damaging the lanes inside the FPC. Links Github Enclosure camera STL
