Atomstack X70 Max / Aliexpress Camera

Good Day, one and all.

I built an enclosure based on this:

In which I will house the Atomstack X70 Max with a work area of 850 x 800 mm.

I intend to build in a lift (red box). At level the bed will be 470mm from the roof of the enclosure.

My question, would this camera (120°) be a good option to cover most of the bed?

Congrats and welcome, glad you found Lightburn and this forum.

Thank you @parsec

I am aware of that, I shouldve been more specific.
What I meant to ask is if the camera is as such suitable from a technical perspective. Considering its price (cheap) and all.
I have an Atomstack AC1 which I use with my NEJE… and the AC1 5MP is substanially more expensive than the Aliexpress 8MP 120°.

I bought this one. I just use 2 cameras (1 side 1 top) to watch the running laser.

I don’t really think so. It’s best to have as few wide-angle as possible. For a 400x400 workspace, a common distance is 40cm for a camera with a decent wide-angle. If you have a 800x800 workspace, I’d suggest having at least 80cm, better 120cm height for the camera. If you want to have the full workspace covered. Of course you can go lower and use more wide-angle, but this will decrease quality heavily. You will be far away from mm-precision then, which most people like to have.
I’d go for a standard camera that covers roughly 400x400 and only use that section with the camera. It doesn’t really make sense for huge projects anyhow.
