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.
