BuddyCam
Wasn't it said that a camera option would be available for the Core Ones? Is that the BuddyCam then? Can't really be or how would that fit in the case?
Anyone knows anything? Just in case the preorder finalization comes in and I wouldn't waste too much time figuring that out

I don't know if this is the final version but the fact their showing it off I would assume it would be very similar to what will be released.

RE: BuddyCam
It looks like it might (remember, I'm guessing here) be the buddy cam guts in a new suit.
If it is, I have a question or two for people who already have a buddy cam. Does it really need to be plugged into the xBuddy USB-C port for power, or can any USB-PD supporting USB wall charger work (leaving the xBuddy USB-C port available for OctoPrint)? If so, can the Buddy camera be linked to both PrusaConnect and still be accessed as an IP camera by OctoPrint?

RE: BuddyCam
AFAIR you can power it from any USB-C plug that delivers 5V 1A (and I'd expect even less, something like 0.5A).
If the cable and pinout were different it would be a total horror.
See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.
RE: BuddyCam
Yeah, looking at the specs it wants 5V 1A, so USB-PD is probably overkill.

RE: BuddyCam
I'm considering buying this for original Prusa enclosure. It looks like it would fit in the corner just like on the core one. If it didn't it probably wouldn't be hard to design a mount or new shell.
I avoided the original buddy cam because it looks ridiculous, like a baby monitor.
RE: BuddyCam
Got a Mk4S and enclosure at work, and a mini with enclosure at home. Both need cameras. I wonder if this would fit and give a useful view in the Mk4S or mini enclosure? They look superficially very similar.
Still saving up for a Core One at home...
RE: BuddyCam
I wound't be surprised if the corner camera enclosure was compatible with MK4 and Mini enclosures.

RE: BuddyCam
I woudl say it will fit by the geometry, but lack the tilt/pan feature. So, basically a choice between functionality here
RE:
I imagine you could use washers or some sort of shim to adjust the view angle, but once it's set there's no need to move it anyways.
