Basic Information: Printer Model: Prusa i3MK3S+ MCU / Printerboard: Einsy RAMBo Host / SBC Raspberry 5 Describe your issue: Hello, in the past I installed Octoprint on Raspberry Pi 4 and used a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920x to monitor the print process via live feed from a browser. It worked so…

If you want higher FPS, I’d recommend moving the camera streaming software off your Klipper host. An ethernet connection is good too. This is a limitation of the processing power of the Pi, and it can’t handle running a high FPS camera and printing with Klipper simultaneously. [image] …

Why Octoprint is needed when Klipper can do live stream and seemingly other things? My problem is that after setting up the camera, it only shows FPS: 00 or 01 most of the time. Once in awhile, it showed 02 or 03. There is delay when it is supposed to show the video images in real-time. According …

[image] printeruser: when Klicpper can do live stream? Klipper can’t do that. It’s either Mainsail, Fluidd or OctoPrint. So, what GUI are you using? And please do not mix up OctoPrint with Klipper. OctoPrint is a 3D-Print server. Klipper is a firmware solution.

Mainsail is the GUI I am using.

So Mainsail is responsible for the stream: [grafik]

Yes but it does not seem to have any information to solve my very low FPS problem.

OK. Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:
