<p>Hi everyone!<br/> I want to share my method to create "acceptable" Timelapses.<br/> Currently, i'm not able to create those brilliant/perfect ones that we can see all over the internet but i hope to soon find the good configuration.</p> <p>With this print, you can attach a limit switch (+/- 12.8 x 6.7mm) at the beginning of the X-axis and either use Octolapse ( I tested it and it works without problems) or custom G-code after layer change.</p> <h3>Here is a video of my experiment:</h3> <p> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://youtu.be/0z2lAEISjqU"></oembed> </figure> </p> <h3>Here is the custom G-code that I used:</h3> <h4>ATTENTION!</h4> <p>Please test this before launching an entire print. This must be configurated with caution as may cause unwanted collisions!</p> <p>Copy and paste on Custom g-code under Printer Settings.</p> <h3>;AFTER_LAYER_CHANGE</h3> <p>G1 X10 Y180 F{travel_speed*60} ;Move away from the print before activation movement<br/> G4 S0 ;Wait for move to finish<br/> G4 P200 ;Wait for 200ms</p> <p>G1 X5 F1000 ; Activation movement<br/> G4 S0 ;Wait for move to finish<br/> G4 P100 ;Wait for 100ms</p> <p>G1 X10 Y180 F{travel_speed*60} ;Back movement<br/> G4 S0 ;Wait for move to finish<br/> G4 P100 ;Wait for 100ms</p> <p>;[layer_z]</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>*Print without supports and then break the tabs designed in place</p>
