Remote Controlled Timelapse Gcode question
I saw the blog post about taking headless timelapses by moving the print head away. My only real question is that that gcode is for an MK3, and I have a mini+. So what gcode would I need to modify for it to work on my mini+? Keeping in mind that I am not using the P73, I have a bluetooth remote for phones to click to shutter the camera. I question the X5 and the Y205 and travel speed for a mini. I feel like for a mini Y would be 180 since 180mm bed size. But X being 5 has me stumped. Would I make it X180? or X0? or is it X5 to have 5mm of room before bottoming out? Here is the original code from the blog post.
;AFTER_LAYER_CHANGE G1 X5 Y205 F{travel_speed*60} ;Move away from the print
G4 S0 ;Wait for move to finish G4 P500 ;Wait for 500ms
M42 S255 P73 ;Trigger
G4 P200 ;Wait for 200ms
M42 S0 P73 ;Untrigger
G4 P500 ;Wait for 500ms

I did end up just trying some experimental code and landed on this.
;AFTER_LAYER_CHANGEG1 X180 Y180 F{travel_speed*60} ;Move away from the print
G4 S0 ;Wait for move to finish
G4 P1000 ;Wait for 1s

this sends the bed forward and the head to the back right where it can click my remote switch to take the picture.
