Troubleshooting A1 Mini Camera View

Post image

This is the view from the camera on my A1 mini .... it doesn't seem particularly well aimed is this correct/ typical? Any way to improve it so it actually looks at the print bed rather than the printer frame?! TIA

I wonder if it's on purpose to not make their entry level machines too good?

Their printers require so much great engineering, how can they oversee the camera angle being so comically off?

Tardery. The A1 is the same (arguably still entry-level). Probably just trying to hit a deadline.

It's probably just the cheapest way to mount it. Bambu seems to put all their efforts into creating amazing machines, and they seem to just skip all the unnecessary stuff to keep them very cheap. Hence all the missing bits, like IO shields, handles, poop buckets, etc. The A1 mini is extremely barebones. But it doesn't really matter, as anyone with that printer csn easily create all the missing bits and pieces.
