Is the camera not fully assembled?
Today I received the camera, opened the box, and was very puzzled. The camera was split into two parts. At first, I thought it had been damaged during shipping. But there are no visible signs of damage. The plastic parts look intact. The Wi-Fi antenna cable is very short. The two screws that are supposed to hold the camera together are missing. Is there no quality control at the factory?
Is there any way to check if the camera works without a printer? If I’m lucky, I’ll get my Core One in about three weeks. And I really don’t want to write to Prusa support: “Can you send me two little screws?”
It’s both funny and sad.
RE: Is the camera not fully assembled?
Yes, the wifi cable is very short.
To test it - power it by a USB-c charger. Go to Prusa Connect and on the "Camera" tab, choose "Add new web camera".
Enter your wifi credentials and point the camera at the QR code. It should connect.
As long as your printer is powered on, you will periodically see the picture refresh (slowly!).
Wow, not even closed up properly. Agree that's pretty sad.

Ooops! Someone forgot a very important step!
