I am looking to add a small camera to an upgraded 3d printer setup that is an enclosed printer. Anyong using a tiny camera with WiFI support ideally USB powered perhaps that works well with frigate?

There are no explicit recommendations for specific tiny WiFi cameras in the available documentation. However, Frigate supports cameras that output H.264 video and AAC audio for best compatibility, and USB-powered cameras are generally supported if they can be accessed over the network (RTSP, RTMP, HTTP, MJPEG, or JPEG streams). WiFi cameras must be reachable from your Frigate server over the network, and you should configure them to output the desired resolution and frame rate for efficient detection and recording(1).

Check out these potentially useful sources: Camera setup, Camera Specific Configurations, Recommended hardware.

I use an old Raspberry Pi with an even older Camera. Made a case with Openscad and put it on top of the glass in a corner. Can see everything from above.
On the Raspberry I installed go2rtc and added the Raspicam to it. So I get the rtsp stream (along with the Bambu Cam rtsp stream) into frigate.

The quality is not good right now, have to clean the lens or replace the cam
