cults3d

Easiest way to good time lapses! I was wondering how youtubers do good 3d printing time lapses, and after a lot of research it sounded expensive. What about use something we already have? Almost every smartphone have good cameras nowadays. Steps: 1 - Have a Bluetooth shutter just like the photos, links to aliexpress below. 2 - Use the code provided for layer change, but change for your exact printer. 3 - Set up light and a good fixing for your phone (you can see that i had trouble with this). 4 - Let the printer do the job! 5 - Import photos to your computer, and use any software to convert photos to timelapse! Tips for timelapse: 1 - Keep light constant, or you will have to mess with flickering. That includes using ring lights like links below, and now opening and closing doors with exterior light. 2 - Have your phone in a rock solid position, you dont want to mess up in the middle of a printing. 3 - Use at least 2 to 3 walls, and use inner walls first, since my script doesnt have retract, you will lose some filament going to take photo position, and coming back, so some path to run inside the print is good to get the right flow again. 4 - Position your print according to your photo positioning, leaving the back of the print to the travel path to take photos, since because "tip 3", you'll have stringing hanging in the back, you will want to hide it from photos. 5 - Keep your flash from camera disabled, if you have manual focus leave it on! 6 - Disable battery management, you dont want your phone to turn screen off and stop working. 7 - Airplane mode with only bluetooth on. 8 - Keep phone and light on charger while taking photos for timelapse.
