How to watch it etch/print from GFUI?

Since we can see material and design, is there a way to watch the progress of the burn? I mean see the laser head moving?
Thanks

No, not unless you add your own camera. The lid camera is blocked by the head for anything near the centre anyway.

The bandwidth required from GF to cloud to computing device would be significant. Your computing device with the GFUI is not directly tied to the GF unit.

Yes, I have two cloud connected security cameras and now my broadband upload data usage is bigger than my download.

Can they be set to trigger on motion//change? Would slow down the spam,

Supposedly but I could not get it to work. It doesn’t really matter as I have unlimited broadband.

Even 4 frames per second at low res would be a minute amount of extra data and would give an overall idea of the etch, it would also show any flare ups. They will have it some day, it’s inevitable.
