- On test today is the Creality Nebula Camera. If you saw my original review of this printer, I managed to have a print detach from the bed and end up with 2 hours of spaghetti. I saw this camera and wondered if it could stop that sort of situation from happening - so let's see if it can!

I have had the Nebula camera for six months now and connected it to my Sonic pad. Works perfectly, night vision AI, Timelapsing and via web interface downloading. A must have. Great video!
You have web interface downloading for the timelapse? Different web interface then?
The camera as well as my Ender 3 V2 are linked to my Creality Sonic pad running on clipper. I access this on my laptop in the browser via the local IP address. It's opening Fluidd (Sonic pad) Here I can control the printer and everything you can do with Clipper including rendering your Timelapse in mpeg4 format and downloading it.@@CurryKitten
My Nebula cam and Sonic pad don't do spaghetti detection. Creality support told me that it is not yet supported for this combination. Support will be in the next firmware release. You have the same combi, detection does work?
On the Sonic pad you can turn on the AI in other settings and make further adjustments. Indeed, it indicates that it is experimental. I haven't tested it myself yet, I'll make a spaghetti pot tomorrow and see what happens. Thank you for your comment.
Cant wait to watch more of your ender v3ke videos. Im still a beginner so these videoare great for me thanks xx
I used Octoprint and Octolapse to get to about the same place. They take over the printer with a Raspberry PI, and do about the same things. Very cool, watching your own time lapse videos ! Also a learning experience.
hey, do you have defect detection and first layer detection as activated? i cant see good if is actived or not on your video but i have Ender 3 ve KE and i cant activate first layer detection and motion advance, it says "no lidar detected". what you think? thank you
hey Curry, Glad to see the first video on the search was yours! i just upgraded my old cr-10 to the new CR-10 SE and creality gave me a £20 gift card for the review so ordered on of these cameras. Glad you gave it a thumbs up! Defo in love with the new printer though, and keep up the good work LDO OG !
Hey - yeah I like being able to monitor what's happening and grab the time lapses. Have fun with it!
Fantastic review, Wayne! 😃
Pretty interesting camera indeed! Works pretty well!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Cheers MC!
I was wondering if anyone can help me I am having issues trying to gett the time lapse that looks like fluid , mine just seems to be scattered , Ender 3 v 3KE and nebula.
Very Nice, I wish I could configure it to work with my 4-year old Creality CR-6SE.
Yeah - shame. I was just looking and they do the little console screen with the camera as well, but it seems only compatible with the Ender family of printers
There are also firmware updates for the Nebula camera.
You can actually root these nebula systems to run Klipper / Fluidd . mainsail etc... i use one, have all the features of creality plus the added bonus of it rooted to klipper. Also binned off the silly camera mount and designed my own to sit on the X gantry for ender 3v2 (its on thingiverse)
Can I check the camera when I am not in the same network with printer by using mobile app? Does it share over creality cloud?
Yes - it's the one thing I do like about creality cloud
I have a question, I haven’t yet bought the camera, but I am considering on buying it, I own an Ender 3 V2, which doesn’t appear to be compatible with the camera, but the camera itself can connect via USB, by any chance, would the camera work if plugged into a computer, rather than being plugged into a 3-D printer?
I'm afraid the camera wire is all routed under my printer right now, so can't easily test. The answer at a guess is probably, but all the AI stuff seems linked in to the firmware on the printer itself - so I don't think you'd get any special features from it.
@@CurryKitten I don’t need any of the AI features, all I need is the ability to run time lapses. Thank you for the information.
The timelapse feature is a host initiated thing, so you'll need something on the PC end that could do so. What the printer does is take a single screen shot on every layer and combines it into a movie. SO the webcam isn't doing anything on it's own as such
@@CurryKitten that’s ok
Can you use this with any printer with a USB c port?
No - it really depends what your printer is running as you need some sort of software implementation to talk to the camera and set it up as a USB camera as well as talking to it about possible alerts.
Does this work with the ender 3 s1 pro?
According to the product website, it's not listed as being compatible - but I know people are using webcams with their S1's, so it's perhaps worth asking Creality to check
@@CurryKitten yeah I found out it's only compatible with the sonic pad. They do have an older webcam version specially made for the older ender 3 models called creality smart kit 2.0.
4:10 "so it doesn't dry out" eeeeeehehehehehe
I wonder how hard this would be to integrate onto one of their older printers 🤔
Yeah - obviously filiment absorbs water when left out, but it makes PLA so brittle that it always feels like it's dried out too much! As for the camera, they sell it with the console which I guess could intergrate into an older printer - but I've not checked that out properly
Just what u want sending your video feed to a cloud china :P
If China really want a picture of small pieces of PLA being printed then they can knock themselves out. Of course you don't have to use Creality Cloud, and you can scp the video file from your printer direct to the desktop if you want to
My camera is giving me the lidar error. I see that there is an updated firmware that was uploaded in February. I will have to download it and see if that makes a difference.
