RE: Buddy3D Camera update
It's working, the PrusaConnect Integration is flawless. I installed a cheap 24V to USB adapter and the camera is switched on with the printer. Nightvision is just great.
I'm waiting for some improvement - but all are nice to have (streaming video; timelaps)
RE: Buddy3D Camera update
I was able to upgrade to 3.0.4 with a 256GB microsd card formatted as FAT32, exFAT did not work.
RE: Buddy3D Camera update
Frankly I think the whole design is abysmal and I've seen better looking Butt Plugs 🤪
I am hopeful that the software will get better and utilise the motors and give us live streaming as snapshot is so slow at updating.
RE: Buddy3D Camera update
What irks me about it is they sold it saying it would be updated to make it more usable and to date I can see nothing different. It is a poor upgrade for a printer I spent 3.5k on.
RE: Buddy3D Camera update
I am with you on this and just got mine up and running, it's so slooooooooow. I could take a snapshot quicker with my phone. It would be nice if I you could use cameras like the ring indoor cam which I have pointing at my XL but now Buddy3D cam setup.
RE: Buddy3D Camera update

RE: Buddy3D Camera update
I received my Buddy 3D Camera in January or February. I was able to get the firmware updated, but I had to tether it to an old Samsung Note 8 with the hotspot turned on. I had to do this because the camera couldn't handle the password I had set on my router and WiFi extender. I wasn't willing at the time to switch the password on a bunch of devices just to get the camera to work. The downside is that the phone will switch the hotspot of every day or two. Not sure why, unless the phone is getting to warm.
I just checked today and I noticed that at some point the firmware was automatically updated to 3.0.4. Tomorrow I will try again to get it set up on my WiFi extender. It would work before because the password has one or more spaces in it. This new update is supposed to correct that issue.
It does look like the picture may be a little clearer after the update.
I'm still plagued with it switching back and forth between color and black & white pictures. It seems like it is pretty close to 50-50 split the color change, no matter how good or bad the lighting. Doesn't matter if the overhead light is on and the room is bright, or if the light is off and the room is dark.
I have also ordered the Buddy3D Camera for the Core One. Not sure how long it will take for that to come in. I have also ordered the MK4S -> Core One upgrade kit. Right now I'm guessing I won't see it until May.
The SD card I'm using in my camera is a 32 GB card. I can't say for sure how it is formatted. It's a Lexar 32 GB card. I just took it out of the package and popped it into the camera. It seems to be working fine. Like I said above, the camera did automatically update to the latest firmware.
