ANYCUDIC i3 MEGA addon for TimeLapse

thingiverse

This is an Addon for the Anycubic i3 MEGA printer. Print it out in flat orientation with support, no scaling needed. Use some washers beneath the mounting surface and longer screws - mine are like those already installed but longer, as shown in the photo. I used a limit switch from Ebay (https://www.ebay.de/itm/10-Micro-Rollenhebel-Arm-Offnen-Schliesen-Regelschalter-Kw12-3-Pcb-Mikroschalter-/183767703306?hash=item2ac9689f0a). Two small plastic screws are needed to mount the top plate, and some wires must be connected to the phone. The phone must have a Camera button. Preparation depends on the phone model and datasheet/electrical wiring. Depending on the program used (mine is Repetier host), input the following code into settings: Repetier host -> Slicer tab -> Configuration -> Printer (click on the small gear) -> Custom G-code -> Under "After layer change G-code input" G90; G1 G100 X200 Y200; G4 P600; The number P600 is the time in milliseconds that the Extruderhead stays on the limit switch and the time that the Phone needs to take the photo. Try to increase the delay if photos are not on spot. Also use manual focusing and flash off. Use an enclosure/case/shell around the printer to eliminate shadows/different light levels. For more information on preparing the Phone camera button, contact me, and I will do my best to explain the procedure. Watch here: https://www.facebook.com/k3mp3r/videos/1561423967327171/
