Camera Quality

Hey Guys,
Just taken delivery of my X1 Carbon.
I am running a test print with the provided filaments, using the AMS.
I have the Studio open and looking at the camera the quality seems to be getting worse as the print goes on.
i have included a picture of what the quality is currently.
Can anyone assist.

did you try reconnecting the (flat) cable to the camera?! maybe not all pins are connected?!

Could you please also check if the video recording file in the ipcam directory of SD card has the same issue?
If video recording has the same issue, please check the chamber camber according to Chamber Camera Replacement Guide | Bambu Lab Wiki

So, I found the issues.
Bit of a weird one, I had the printer connected to an extension lead (5way socket bar) with other devices connected.
I removed all the other devices from the extension bar and the image quality became much better.
I wonder if the unit has a bad earth causing some feedback.

Anyway, for now the issue is fixed. If it returns I will check the above mentioned fixes.

So the camera on the X1 series is USB, and connected via a 4 pin cable. A cable failure here would almost certainly cause the camera to not function at all, or possibly work intermittently.

The P1P has the flat-flex cable (which is probably a CSI interface) which if damaged could maybe cause issues similar to this.

It is recommanded to have a glue if there is any modification.

I have the same issue, and want to solve it. But I am not sure what you mean by “connected to an extension lead” and don’t think I have a similar connection. My camera is stock, the way it came from the factory, and I purchased the printer about a year ago. It has only recently developed the grainy picture similar to the pictures you posted. Can you be more specific about what the extension bar was and where it was connected to the camera wiring? Perhaps just installing a new camera will be necessary, but I would like to save money if I could on the camera…

Extension lead he is meaning extension cord. I am now having this same problem after replacing the TH board set and the micro lidar is not functioning now too
