Buddy camera antenna
While trying to assemble I managed to rip the tiny PCB antenna off the Buddy camera. I dissambbled it and see that it's just a ufl attached antenna that might be easy to replace. Does anybody know what spec the PCB antenna is so I can find a likely compatible one?

Something like this should work: Flexible PCB (FPC) Antenna

Interestingly, it still works even with the pcb bit ripped off, so it seems to be functional (even if the wifi signal is weak). But ordered a couple of similar ones designed for ble and wifi anyway.

It's just a single wire - I soldered mine back on.

I replaced it with a very similar one from Pimoroni (it seems to be just a standard uFL wifi antenna) and the signal on my wifi router has changed from weak to strong.

Hi there,
My Core One buddy just fell apart. Would you happen to have a model number for the ufl antenna you fitted at all? Or any other details of it?
Thank you.
Regards,
Dave

I'm using one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077SVP7PN
Quite a bit larger, which may help if your wifi is marginal near your printer.
(Full disclosure: I work for Amazon.)
