@gordon-w
Thank you, this manual can help. There are a few points I already considered like "Try the Smart - Snap To Print trigger type", but right now, I have camera mounted to the top of the printer (planning to switch to tripod), so the only good looking stabilization was "Back center".
A soon as I get the new camera angle, I'll try to change triggers and stabilization for more experience

Wow your prints are so amazing! I just posed a topic about straining and I was curious what you did to get such clean prints? Did you ever have straining issues?

RE: Anyone have successful Octolapse settings?
Just starting using Octolapse today and on my test print of a benchy, there seems to be a huge delay between each layer. I'm using centered stabilization and it seems to sit for almost a minute each time it goes to take a time lapse photo. It is causing what should have been a just under 2 hour print to be a 7+ hour print.
Octoprint Version 1.7.3
Octolapse Version 0.4.1
Prusa Mini+ Printer
I'm using the built in Prusa Mini profile in octolapse. Octoprint is running in a docker container. Anyone have any suggestions on what might be the cause of this huge delay?
RE: Anyone have successful Octolapse settings?
I forgot to add, when I looked at the terminal during one of the delays this is what I see:

RE: Anyone have successful Octolapse settings?
Did you ever figure this out? I am seeing the same issue.
RE:
I did, but for a mk3s with mmu2s, it would jam constantly at the end of a print on the unload. The fix is not to use the smart triggers, as far as I can tell, they are causing my issue by ramming the tip too much, this happens on single material prints too. Not to mention the artifacts.
switch to classic gcode mode and tick the box for z hop only, if you are using prusas slicer, z hop after retract is enabled by default and so is retract after layer change. I'm still fine tuning the remaining settings to get it even better, ill probably make an updated video as the ones out their don't work well anymore.
its worth noting, any stabilization works now and doesn't leave artifacts, teaching techs video is where I figured this out, he doesn't explain it, but I paused every second of that video and combed the settings he had.
TLDR: Take off smart compatibility, turn on classic gcode, edit the profile, tick the box that says on trigger on z hop only.
you can use snap @octolapse take-snap or g4 p1, they are all enabled by default(double check i spelt them right first) put one of these in at the after layer change gcode in your slicer
enjoy your timelapse!

@formerlurker I opened a ticket but let me know if you need any more details. I'd be happy to provide whatever you need or run some tests for you. https://github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/issues/462
RE: Anyone have successful Octolapse settings?
It is about proper settings in the octolapse printer profile. Go to printer profile, enable customize, Firmware settings, G90/G91 Influences Extruder (set it to true). it will solve the issue. Using this with the orca slicer, Ender 3 V2 neo.
I've been trying to get Octolapse working successfully with my Mini but can't get the settings right. The nozzle keeps getting blocked after the first layer no matter what 'Stabilization' setting I use.
