I’m excited for this one. I really like Anker’s charging products and the speed looks nice. Also having a camera to check on your prints is something I’ve always wished for.

If you’ve got a typical consumer 3D printer, you could be using OctoPrint anyway, just hook up a $20 webcam to it and you’ve got a camera on your octoprint interface, and in any number of mobile apps that monitor Octo.

Or install Klipper [0] and Mainsail [1]. Octoprint is a great addition where there's none but is very underperformant and the interface is janky. Klipper brings in many other improvements at the cost of tinkering.
