Take picture at end of print

I think it would be nice if the printer took a picture at the end of the print so that you could see how it turned out. Most of the time when a print finishes I’m not near the printer, so it would be nice to be able to see how the print turned out. It’s frustrating to get that “Print Finished” message only to realize that something went wrong half-way through and now you have to reprint it. Sending a final picture of the print to Handy would at least prepare me for the failure.

I know you can turn on time lapse mode but that slows down the whole operation. This would just be a picture taken at the end of the print and sent to Handy.

This would be cool. On the time lapse, often the part is out of view because the plate moved too far out of view so I have to move the plate remotely but if a photo is taken before moving the plate away, it would be a neat feature

I`d think that would require a seperate or additional camera for it to be worthwhile , the camera provided is mainly for timelapse , with most of the print out of view , unless your idea of a good image is an over looking sideview

you can copy a link to your clipboard using the chain icon

Would also like this please. And would be great if the notification to iPhone/Apple Watch could include that image.

Yes! That’s what I was thinking too.

I think it is not very useful, as every print which is a higher than 50% of the maximum print height will be out of the camera angle.

However, I would also love this feature!

if it’s taking time lapses, just have it pull the shot that was taken second or third to last. Something is telling the camera to pull those photos, and something is adding those photos to the app/studio. If upon receipt of “completed” message, pull photo x-3 or whatever… seems simple to me and would not need to engage the actual G-Code of the printer. Might miss a few here and there may need adjustments but it’s a start.
