Complete Octolapse Guide - Tips, tricks and troubleshooting for 3D printing timelapses

Frequently requested, this is a comprehensive guide to getting Octolapse to create those 3D printing time lapses that look like magic. Just in time for the new 0.3.4 release, this step by step guide takes you through configuration, setup, tips, tricks and troubleshooting so you can use the Octoprint plugin effectively. I’ve tried to keep this as brief as possible but there is a lot to cover. Sorry if some bits feel a bit rushed. Use the detailed instructions below to assist if you are unsure. Click the question mark icons in Octoprint for a nice help page explaining that setting. You can use a pi camera but I found the ribbon cable limiting and the available camera configuration options more difficult to hone. Thanks to Formerlurker for this amazing plugin. If he comments with anything I’ve missed I will pin the post.

Step by step recap of the video: 1- Download and flash Octopi to SD card using win32 Disk Imager or similar 2- Access ‘boot’ partition and edit octopi.txt file using Notepad++: If using a USB webcam, uncomment the line ‘’#camera_usb_options by removing the ‘#’. Set desired resolution, frame rate and any other settings you wish. If using a Raspi camera, uncomment the line ‘#camera_raspi_options’by removing the ‘#’. Set desired parameters as you wish. Reference for settings: https://discourse.octoprint.org/t/ava... 3- In the same file, change the last two lines to: camera_http_webroot="./www" camera_http_options="" “Warning: If your instance of Octopi is accessible from the internet and you have enabled control.htm, unauthorized users WILL be able to change your camera settings (focus, white balance, zoom, pan, etc...). Consider this before implementing the above changes.” 4- Boot into Octoprint and install Octolapse from the plugin manager. Octoprint will reboot. 5- If you haven’t already, add your printer profile to the main Octoprint settings. Be sure to set the printer build volume accurately. 6- Go to settings - Octolapse and tick ‘Display real snapshot time’ in the Main Settings. 7- Switch to the Octolapse tab. Select any printer profile and click the gear. Enter the name of your printer and select your slicer from the drop down. Octolapse will use the same settings names and headings to make this easier for you. Enter all of the named slicer settings into Octolapse. 8- Change the snapshot command to ‘G4 P1’ in the printer profile. Add this to the layer change script in Simplify3D or the After layer change gcode in Slic3r. For Cura, it is more complicated: A- Extensions - Post Processing - Modify G-code B- Add a script - Search and replace C- Then enter: (;LAYER:).{1,} G4 P1 Tick ‘Úse Regular Expressions’ 9- Select your preferred stabilisation technique. 10 - Set your snapshot mode to ‘gcode’. 11- Set your preferred rendering settings for the final video. 12 - Click the settings gear for the camera. Test the ip address for the camera. Duplicate your Octoprint tab and add :8080 to the end. This will open up the webcam control interface. Click on stream and then right click and ‘open image in new tab’. Set snapshot delay to 500 if you are using a wobbly webcam mount like me. Lower is better. Scroll down and tick ‘Enable and apply preferences before print’. Make changes to camera settings and then click ‘Apply now’ to preview. You must turn off autofocus and focus your dummy object manually. Save everything when done. 13- Turn on test mode. Optionally turn off the standard (non Octolapse) timelapse mode. 14- Slice a very narrow and tall object. It doesn’t matter what because it won’t actually print. On the Octolapse tab, watch the preview thumbnail animation to see if the the snapshots are jerky or stabilised. If jerky you would cancel the print, up the Snapshot Delay and retest until stable. 15- Turn off test mode and create an Octolapse. Retrieve the video from the Timelapse tab. 16- (Optional) To reduce surface blobs, open the Octolapse printer profile and view non unique speeds. Change any clashes on both the Octolapse profile and your slicing profile. eg. 1200 can become 1201. In the snapshot options, tick ‘Enable feature detection’. Tick any features where you are happy for Octolapse to interrupt and take a snap shot. Buy quality and affordable filament from www.x3d.com.au #3dprinting #octolapse #timelapse
