Getting 5v from the XL

I've been setting up an ESP32-Cam and it's working well. However I would love to power the camera board from the XL itself. I know the XL has a 5v rail but does anyone know of a good place to tap into it? I could run the 24v directly from the power supply through a regulator but the printer is already doing that conversion so I was thinking there's probably a better way.

Can you contact Prusa about this and keep us updated? I too was planning to use the esp32 cam.

Can you simply plug into the usb connector on the back?  (Using a USBC pigtail adapter if needed)?  Or do you need more current than that?

Yeah, if you're pulling 10 watts I don't think I would add that much to the existing regulator.  The XL schematics aren't available yet, but on the Mk4 2A @ 5V is the onboard regulator's entire rating.The XL will almost certainly be more but not that much more.

A separate regulator on the 24v is the way to go IMHO.
