Use "Buddy3D Camera for Prusa CORE One" for other printers?
Hello,
I am wondering whether I could use the "Buddy3D Camera for Prusa CORE One" also within my custom built enclose with MK2.5S. I really like the small design factor of the Core One Version in comparison with the normal Buddy3D Camera.
In the manual it says "There are two versions of the Buddy3D camera. While both are compatible with all the current Prusa printers, only the latter is designed for the internal installation in the CORE One." In the shop it says not compatible with MK2.5S, which confused me a bit.
I will figure out how to mount the "Buddy3D Camera for Prusa CORE One" in my enclosure on my own. Is there any software limitation (e.g. communication between camera and Core One), that my MK2.5S cannot not cover? Does Prusa Connect fully support this camera even if not used with Core One?
RE: Use "Buddy3D Camera for Prusa CORE One" for other printers?
you would have to register mk2.5S on PrusaConnect which generally means you need something like a PrusaLink python package installed on raspberry pi.
Then you can register camera to that printer via PrusaConnect because the camera talks to the PrusaConnect directly
See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

Great news, I have Prusa Link and Connect running already. I will give it a try soon
RE:
I use that same camera with a Mk3.5 no problem. The camera does not communicate with the printer at all, only Connect. So if you can see your printer in Connect, I don't see why you shouldn't able to mount the camera.
