Weekend project from last weekend. After I have seen what others did with the amg8833 thermal sensor, I wanted to give it try too and created a camera housing. The code is running on an ESP8266 since it is cheap, small, fast and was available at home.
Of course it is no real thermal camera with an 8 x 8 ir array, but it could help a lot in finding leaks, heat sources, etc.
The project is uploaded at Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2799023)
круто, но цена на детали - дорогая.
The design is frustratingly ugly, man. Sorry. E.g. it would be fairly simple at least to hide that side switch in a depression in the case. You’ve got a 3D printer with endless design possibilities and ignoring most of them building a trivial parallelepiped…
The refresh rate on that TFT looks amazing - really digging this (I ordered the TFT, looking forward to using it for a project. Thanks for sharing!
@BK_Hobby I was also surprised by the performance when I exchanged the driver, I wasn’t expecting such a performance. Keep in mind that the one I used is especially for the ESP8266 and NodeMCU, it also supports other display controllers (https://github.com/Bodmer/TFT_eSPI).
Absolutely to debug but surely you are actually using this to monitor your printer within octoprint through a plugin?
@Ritchie_Wilson I was using the print bed just to demonstrate the screen comparison, it is not linked in any way to my printer.
Temperature range is limited to around 0-80°C, my main application was the analysis of the floor heating and insulation of the house 
I wanted to do something similar about 7 years ago for the Ardupilot project but the chip (an analog devices GRIDEYE i believe) was US and they would not allow export. FMCW SAR was my focus then instead. Built a functional miniature of a design used in an MIT course but processing was off loaded and its simply beyond me to bring it on board so stopped.
Would still like a cheap flir alternate to watch the garden and such but no export no choice
