Power for Buddy3d USB-C camera
I'm having trouble finding the manual for this.
Thinking about buying one but would like to know how they are powered.
Do they plug into the USB-C port on the Mk4S or do they require a seperate USB power supply?
RE: Power for Buddy3d USB-C camera
I just received my Buddy3d camera, and wondered the same thing. I tried plugging it in the USB-C port, but unfortunately it doesn’t work for me. I have to use a seperate power supply for now. I’m hoping a future update may fix this, but I have no idea if that is at all possible.

That's maybe a solution for that issue:

Hope the power supply has enough free power to support a camera (think so, will try to check that later when my ordered camera is delivered...)
RE: Power for Buddy3d USB-C camera
There is a great mod from a guy on Etsy that I purchased - fits at the bottom of the power supply and provides 5v usb - currently running my Buddy cam from it with no problems. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1709588036/prusa-mk4smk35smk3s-usb-add-on

Sorry for my poor English. I try to do my best.

My MK4s is in an enclosure. Enclosure needs a plug also. I bought a short extension cord with USB power connectors also. I then have a remote control on the wall plug. Everything powers on/off from the remote.
RE: Power for Buddy3d USB-C camera
I've ordered a 24V automotive usb socket:
I'll later design a box or a holder to attach that at the enclosure and connect it to the power supply on the back side. So i also can shut down the main power by a smart plug

Hey, thank you for your kind message. I'm the Etsy seller for this mod. I'm selling two different versions: One for the MK Family (MK4, MK4S, MK3.5, MK3.5S, MK3S+,MK3S) and one for the XL. I've been personnaly using this mod on printers for 9 months now and it works really well.
