If you have a 3D Printer, I’m sure you’ve seen videos where an object is printed in 10-20 seconds. It seems as if appears out of nowhere. This is a sped-up time-lapse video of your 3D print. It is easily created using the Octolapse plugin, created by FormerLurker, in the Octoprint software. The plugin takes still images at regular intervals and strings them together, creating a beautiful 3D Printing Timelapse.
You can select the camera you would like to use for Octolapse. If you’re using a webcam, the camera name will be “Webcam-Default Octopi 0.16.0” We are using the Logitech CP22 Pro Stream Webcam. For a budget-friendly webcam, you can try the Inland iC800 1080P Webcam.
Stabilization: You can select where you want the printhead to move before Octolapse takes a snapshot of your print.
Trigger: You can select when during the print a snapshot is taken.
Rendering: Rendering is where you can select the settings for your rendered time lapse video.
