Camera model
Generic Webcam and reproduced with a Logitech C270
What is the problem?
The video stops working mid print, after a few minutes of the print starting.
This has previously worked flawlessly for 10+ hour prints. No hardware changes have been made between the perfect operation and this new issue.
What did you already try to solve it?
The print does not stop when the webcam cuts out, and the webcam can be restarted with sudo service webcamd restart but it again stops working after a few minutes.
Checked my power, but I'm consistently able to source 5A, and my voltage never drops below 5.05V - so that isn't a problem.

I guess it's a power related issue but you ruled that out.
I would disconnect every other usb device (including the printer) and try it with the virtual printer.
Thanks @PrintedWeezl!
The behavior is identical with the virtual printer option for both cameras (generic webcam + C270).
I also upgraded my python to python3, and still the same behavior on both cameras.
