The Realtek AMB82-Mini outclasses the typical ESP32 boards used for printercams, with a better camera and faster CPU, more reliable software and a more powerful and featureful board overall.
After I added a printer riser with plenty of LED illumination, I wanted a high-quality streaming webcam for my P1S printer that didn't rely on any crummy cloud service. So after some experimentation (and some purchases of cameras that didn't do the job well) I picked the AMB82-Mini, and cased it up to sit on the front of my printer.
Printed in PETG, the ORCA Standard .4mm nozzle profile. Note that when printing the provided Antenna piece, you'll need to take care that the walls are being generated properly. I had to use the “Arachne” wall generator in ORCA to get the appropriate walls to show up.
This build uses 2mm x 2mm heat-set inserts to assemble the camera case, and 2.5mm heat-set inserts (by 3mm, I think, memory fails) for the attachment of the suction cup mount.
Suction cup mount needs support, and I used Tree support, printed on back, supported the 3 “arms”.
I used 1mm thick 3M black outdoor double-sided tape adhesive (permanent, strong stuff) to attach the camera to the SD Card socket.
You may have to choose a particular USB-Micro cable to fit the cutout for the connector shell. In addition, have your Micro cable plugged in to the AMB82 and all arranged before powering it: torquing the board around with the cable can push the reset and program buttons and put the AMB82-Mini into “load me a program” mode unintentionally. If I had to redesign, I'd put in a boss to keep the board from moving like this.
Make sure your USB power can source at least 2.1 Amps at 5vdc. The board doesn't like underpowered adapters.
The suction cups I used are from an assortment I got at ACE Hardware. The package and UPC/SKU are shown in the pictures.
Initially, I'm using the Examples>AMB82 Multimedia>Continuous JPEG stream for my purposes. I hope to extend the software a bit (to fill the browser window, for openers), but I'm not there yet. But you can get a streaming webcam with the AMB82 example software. Remember you'll have to compile in your WiFi username and password (which, being real, is not so great for security, but that's what we have).
