I wonder if the Printer View in Orca actually has it's own interface setup? From what I've seen it seems like it's just a feed from the web interface of a printer. Perhaps it is using an API for other printers. Ideally, Orca-Forge would just contribute back to OrcaSlicer their work to integrate the printer interface view.

This would be the best solution, but I don’t think they will do it since they added a login in order to use the device view and they also completely rebranded the slicer
I just made a simple demo on how you could use the api with html and python. Here is the repo I made: https://github.com/JMcrafter26/flashforge-printer-preview
Please note that this is just a demo and not nearly done
Would love to Access the Onboard models as well like FlashPrint has as well.
Is there an existing issue for this feature request?
Is your feature request related to a problem?
No
Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?
Others (FlashForge printers)
Describe the solution you'd like
A printer view page that shows information about the printer (FlashForge Printers). Currently, the page shows a “page access denied” error, and that is not optimal. I found an API for FlashForge printers and tried it and it works.
Here is the API I am talking about: https://github.com/01F0/flashforge-finder-api
I would use the API (or the code logic) to get the printer details, such as print status. To get the camera (e.g., on the AD 5M Pro) I would use the printer this URL scheme: http://PRINTER_IP:8080/?action=stream
The good thing about the API is, that it works with many FlashForge printers such as Adventurer 5M, Adventurer 4, Finder and maybe more.
Describe alternatives you've considered
