X1 Camera Angle

That’s true, though the camera angle is un-ideal for that as well. No point having over 1/3 of the camera’s field of view being occupied by mechanisms that aren’t relevant to it. It’s obviously important to have the “currently printing” layer be well within the view, but it seems that the camera would be able to fully do it’s job for failure detection while also being more optimal for other purposes as well.

As a side note, of the hundreds of hours I’ve run so far, only one print triggered spaghetti detection, and it was just due to a weird part geometry with silk filament, so not actually a real issue, and the one time I had a print come unstuck from the print plate, the printer didn’t detect it and kept running for an hour after making quite a mess.

Overall love the printer, definitely the most reliable I’ve used by FAR, but little tweaks like camera angle would make it even better.
