PrintLapse - 3D Printing App 4+

Great tool to start with

I recently had the opportunity to try out Print Lapse, and I must say, it’s a commendable tool for 3D printing enthusiasts looking to create captivating time-lapse videos of their prints.

One of the standout features of Print Lapse is its user-friendly interface, which simplifies the often complex process of capturing time-lapse videos. The app guides users through the process of capturing a beep sound from their 3D printer and integrating a provided G-code snippet into their slicer’s layer change G-code section.

Positives:

• The app’s simplicity makes it accessible to users of all experience levels.
• It provides clear instructions and a straightforward interface.

Challenges Faced:

• I found that the provided G-code snippet required some editing to work correctly with my Ender3 V3SE.
• The initial beep is longer than subsequent beeps, affecting the timing in the video.
• The placement of the pause G-code needed adjustment for my printer model.
• There’s a slight lag between the beep and the actual pause and travel times, impacting the timing of image captures.

While there were some initial challenges, I believe that Print Lapse is a valuable tool for 3D printing enthusiasts. With a bit of fine-tuning and experimentation, users can create impressive time-lapse videos of their prints.

I highly recommend Print Lapse to anyone looking to enhance their 3D printing experience with engaging time-lapse videos. Despite the initial adjustments required, the results are well worth the effort.
