What cameras did you add to your 3D printer? What is your favorite camera angle?

For me, the nozzle cam watching the first layer is my personal favorite (OV9281 image sensor).

I've got the cheapest USB webcam money can buy plugged into my octopi. It's attached to the desk behind the printer, pointed at the bed. It's about good enough to see if the print has suffered catastrophic failure, and not much else.

Your image is brilliant, though. If I had something like that set up, I think I'd print garbage all day just to watch it go.
