Otherwise, it will cause printing failure and damage the camera’s firmware. In this case, the camera cannot work typically; this problem is the user problem, not a quality problem. Hence, please ensure that you cannot disconnect the camera from the power supply and the USB cable connected to the printer when the camera is working, and the 3d printer is printing.

• The Beagle camera only supports one printer connection for control, allowing four users to simultaneously log in and access the camera (including mobile phone and computer users). Therefore, please make sure it’s securely accessing the device to prevent bad guys from accessing the camera or printer and the environment to cause damage.

• At the same time, we recommend that you do not let the 3d printer perform the 3d printing work completely unattended. Please come to the printer and watch the real printing progress of the printer regularly to prevent further deterioration of the situation when an abnormal
  condition occurs.
