thingiverse

Hello everyone! For what felt like an eternity, I searched far and wide for a way to capture SUPER HIGH QUALITY photos for my timelapse videos, but GoPros and webcams just weren't cutting it. After weeks of scouring the internet, I finally stumbled upon a solution that exceeded all my expectations! The 3D Print Timelapse Method (DSLR Cameras): To get started, you'll need an Intervalometer: https://amzn.to/2YZfFSw If you're unfamiliar with what an intervalometer is, let me break it down for you - it's essentially a handheld remote control featuring a button that can be pressed to take a photo on your DSLR. Here are the essential components: * You'll need to 3D print a mount to securely hold your intervalometer in place on your printer. I opted for the Monoprice Maker Pro (https://amzn.to/2PRT8DY), so I designed a custom holder using CAD software that perfectly accommodates the specified intervalometer. The second part mounts to the extruder, and you'll need to incorporate a small hex key into this component, which will be used to "press" the button on the intervalometer.

I use Cura as my go-to slicer, so here's how you can tweak your settings: CURA Extensions ---- Post Processing ---- Modify Extensions In the "Search" section, type: ;LAYER: In the "Replace" section, enter: G92 E0 G1 E-2 F400 G90 G1 F8000 X280 Y275 G92 E0 G1 E-2 F400 G1 F400 X290 G4 S1 G1 F8000 X280 G92 E0 G1 E2 F400 G1 F8000 X275 ;LAYER: Make sure "Use Regular Expressions" is CHECKED That's it!
