Prusa MK3 Timelapse Mod
So I thought I'd share this here since some of you might also be interested. A couple of weeks back I designed my own mod for the Prusa MK3, The mod manually presses a remote camera shutter in between each layer of the print. I put together a YouTube video about it so I recommend you go check that out. I explain everything from design decisions to camera settings and custom g-code. Note: I am fully aware of the other solutions that are out there, such as Octolapse. I just wanted to come up with my own solution, and in doing so, I've learned so much. It's also pretty cool that I can now create time lapses at almost 8K resolution. If you have any questions feel free to leave them below!
The purpose of this video was just to share what I've learned. I hope some people find it useful. I've linked the parts below, which even includes the original CAD files should you wish to modify them. For more stuff like this, feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel (thehardwareguy).
