Homemade camera trigger for Artillery Genius

thingiverse

This is a clamping piece to connect a trigger to the printer for high quality timelapse with DSRL cameras. I used a reset switch from an old computer case soldered to a 2.5mm jack connector, which DSRL cameras use to take pictures remotely. I replaced the original screws with two M5x12. Remember to tighten the string before screwing them in. On the software side I used simonjamain's custom timelapse plugin (https://github.com/simonjamain/CustomTimelapseCuraPlugin) and played with distances so that my printer would pull the trigger perfectly. You can change the length of time the printer holds the position to match the exposure time of the camera. I will update with an example, I am working with the light and the positioning of my photos.
