Ug. More things to note.
first: if you have the heated bed, I hope you read this before assembling... holes at the edge of the base plate goes on left side of printer. Single hole, goes towards the front left corner, that is where you should mount you camera... not back right like I had to do.
Before putting the camera module into your 3D printed case, check to make sure it is taped down. Mine they forgot to peel off the “3M” backing so was only held in place by the tiny plug. after I got everything mounted I tilted printer up to plug things in and the camera fell out. Had to take it all apart plug the little camera part back on and stick it onto the circuit board.
i used a Raspberry Pi 3B+ ... their right angle power adapter us backwards from third picture. Also, hooked to the main 24v feed (so many extra wires jammed in that terminal now) and get an under voltage error in OctoPi web interface.
Camera stream doesn’t work either - maybe because of undervoltage. Will try and reseat cable ends tomorrow.
Under voltage also causes Octopi/Octoprint to be unable to update.
painful.
Here's what I pulled from the CLI for what MakerTech sent:
pi@octopi-axis:~ $ cat /proc/cpuinfo

Here's what comes from my actual 3B+:
pi@rasppi3:~$ cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2
So I didn't realize the Pi is a B+. I send a print and I can watch it stutter along. The Pi can't keep up with the printer. Geeze.
I also broke my camera trying to insert it into the printed case.
What should have been the easiest part of setting up this printer is just like everything else, a travesty.
Not really worth starting another thread so unless @Jay M doesn't want me to hijack the thread I'll post this here:
Something about mounting it internally kinda drives me insane. I want to be able to get at things. I already have a micro sd card extender plugged into my mainboard so I can flash a new version of the firmware without having to flip the machine over. I have a bad habit of breaking Raspbian installs so this would make it easier for me to yank the card and start over.
I show it mounted in the wrong direction here. I'd ideally have it mounted the other way so that the power cord faced away from the bed and that all the other stuff was projected down.
I had a bunch of issues with the firmware/Raspbian that I had to work through. Luckily I had similar issues with my other setup and knew the octopi setup pretty well.
It looks like we got a 1.3 revision of the Raspberry Pi camera. There should be a red LED on it. When it is connected it will illuminate.
