Great dinamic timelapse and love the rig! 👏😎 I recommend to stiffen the camera mount and maybe increase the idle time (will increase also the oozing) before taking a picture, to remove the shakiness.
It definitely needs adjustments on the custom G-Code side. As first prototype it proves the concept. I will get back to this project soon to make more cool time-lapse videos.
Greetings Dombi3D, marvelous work you have done there. I am curious, whether the MK3S with your Rig would still fit under the Ikea Lack enclosure. Even though it is not "finished" do you perhaps have any dimension of of that setup? Best regards
This is absolutely amazing. I may have to pick up the HD Pi Cam now. One question though, what are your retraction settings for when you take a snapshot to minimize oozing? I'm having trouble dialing that in.
This would be so great if it was open source, WE have a makerspace and a new MK3s+ ... I'll throw in the RPi and the cam from my money, that would be awsome to attach to... You planned to make it available, I have no problem to print a prototype and give you feedback 😉
I have rebuilt it since then for a version2 so that all parts are printable on prusa mk3s. Currently working on to make it work with the new 16MP Autofocus Arducam which is much cheaper and lighter than the HQ Camera setup. When it finished, I will post a comparison video. The setup itself is fairly complicated with self written Python codes and Slicer Profiles (worked on it several months). To document everything clearly is too much effort for me right now, and this setup makes my time-lapses unique, which I would lose if I upload it somewhere. One option I see is to sell the parts 3d printed, but still need to make a documentation for it.
Hi, i just got around to setting this up after lot of troubleshooting, are you able to make a guide ? for this whole setup or atleast how you got the camera workign in full res , thanks
I planed to use the Octolapse plugin at the beginning but then I realised that it has a max FullHD resolution option which is far from the 12MP capabilities of this camera. So I end up to write my own script in python which makes the snapshots with the help of the picamera module.
I thought octoprint did not accept full resolution out of the HQ camera? Does this mean you have a complete new pi that only does timelapse? And you connect the IO of that rig to the printer octoprint?
It is a little bit complex but I use one Raspberry Pi where runs the Octoprint server and I wrote my custom python codes which handles the camera moving stepper and servo motors and take photos and scrapes the data from the GCode also, so it knows how many layers has the currently printed model, so it can calculate the steps and also the angle for the servo motor to position the camera always to the middle of the model. There are also codes which are turning on and off the wireless LED lamps. The whole thing is triggered with custom G-Codes at every layer change: the LED turns on, the extruder goes to parking position, the camera positioned (slide and tilt), capture a photo, the LED turns off and comes the next layer. It is not perfect mainly because the stepper is a little bit weak but maybe with another gear ratio it would work better, don't know yet.
@@Dombi3D thanks for the explanation, so I guest that using custom python code, you can save those high res images to folder and to the processing later. You are not using octoprint resources. I think I might start with simple python code that the picture with HQ camera. Then when that works I could build more features like steeper motor. Is that tilting servo "really" that useful? Image won't be at the middle . I guest I would need to see difference side by side. Anyway thanks and hope to see a video one day.
@@JeromeDemers Yes, I take photos in full resolution and after that I make a time lapse video from them. The tilting servo just used higher as 100mm prints. The camera has a really short focus range from that short distance, that is another challenge. If you have any question during your project ask and I try to help you!
It is not published yet. I am working on other topics right now. If the video reaches 100k views I will get back to it, until then I have other priorities like 3D printed camera slider for timelapse, pick and place extension for 3d printers etc.
@@huntliba its just on the Z axis though, if the rest is sturdy and well designed enough it might work out just fine, since the Z jumps are made longer through Octoprint anyways and Only when it's gonna take a picture, also on a proper Dual Z printer like the Prusa i don't think it'll really cause issues.
Hope you share the tutorial with us soon.
Awesome work! Some spiral or other artwork on the spool would play nicely in the background!
I want to be like you when I grow up. Nicely produced and implemented!
I wish you can make a video showing us to to build this awesome setup.
I. Am. Stunned. Whoa man, great job
Very interesting! Congrats, the videos got very smooth and sharp!
This is so good!
Man, I want that 120 camera track. That thing is cool.
Great time-lapse. Can you please share STL design of rigs. Thanks
Hey this is so cool! Where can we find the rig .stl files?
Absolutely amazing 🤩
Wow I really like it it’s so satisfying

I haven't changed anything on that. I also have to tune it in the future.
Which lens do you use? 6mm or 16mm?
6mm
this is awesome!!!
That is an amzing rig, Wish it was available to make, I don't have the skills to do that haha
Absolutely incredible 👍
Hi,
Did you ever make an additional video and/or release the files to make this camera ring?
Cool! Cosmic!!
This is really nice!!
This is awesome!
Thanks! And I see you figured it out but 6mm lens was used for this setup.
Awsome setup any chance you will be OS or selling the .STL/printed parts?
Really nice rig m8! And awesome timelapses...
One question if I may - I imagine that this rig weighs some, so have you notice print quality decrease?
Not really. Only because of the pause time (some oozing filament) between layers but it has nothing to do with that rig.
It is awesome is here STL?
EXCELLENT!!!!
Hey Dombi3D this thing is amazing, it focuses really well for being so close to the print. I guess its about 20cm from the printbed center?
The inside radius of the track is around 27cm. Because of the minimum focus distance of the lens.
Can you share the g code? I'm making a similar slide, but I don't understand how to do the gcode yet
Are you going to release the files for this? I'd love to modify a version for my Ankermake or Tronxy

What lens are you using?
The official 6mm version
What lens are you using with the rpi hq camera?
Hi, awesome project!
Will this project be OS?
Cheers 🤘
If I can manage to make it foolproof and trouble free then yes. A dedicated octoprint Plugin would be also nice to make. I try my best!
@@Dombi3D Let us know, if you need support! Keep it going!

Would love to see a video about how you did this🙌🏻
Can you please tell me what software do you use for designing 3d models?
Can you share how to set it up with octoprint and python code?🙏🏻
That will be a future video material! Don't ask me when :)
@@Dombi3D I'm waiting for your movie.
Great video, would iit be possible to implement this solution on an ender 3 v2?
Очень круто, так же хочу :))

So question for you, are you putting your files out there so other people can build this?
I plan to make a video about it also, just need to refine the design before a lot of people start to print out a prototype product.
Where can I get files for this camera rig?
How do you get full res? Even if i set mine that high, octolapes seems to lower the quality.
I do not use the Octolapse feature. I wrote my own code to capture full resolution photos.
Filament type?)
Hi, it's a great job ! Where can we find the stl files ? it's so cool

@@Dombi3D ok, so we wait :)
@@Dombi3D Hi, no more news ? :)
@@yannickgolawski9763 iam waiting too dude hahaha
which lens are u using btw ?
6mm
how do you get the hq cam to take full resolution stills ?
I wrote my own script for it in python because OCTOLAPSE plugin was limited to FullHD
@@Dombi3D clever guy. Any plans to make a tutorial on that ?
please make a video tutorial 🥲
Szép munka.
Köszi!
🔥💕😍👌👍
Raspberry camera is good, but Dslr make it better
But you will not put 300g+ DSLR camera on such rig without downgrade on print quality :D
@@huntliba its just on the Z axis though, if the rest is sturdy and well designed enough it might work out just fine, since the Z jumps are made longer through Octoprint anyways and Only when it's gonna take a picture, also on a proper Dual Z printer like the Prusa i don't think it'll really cause issues.
