How to Do That Cool 3D Printing Timelapse Effect // Hacking the Timelapse

My personal process for taking great 3D printing timelapse videos may be a bit unorthodox, but it works great and definitely doesn't involve burning your hands.

That intro was AMAZING!! Definitely inspired to figure out a printing time lapse system that works for us. HACK THE SYSTEM!!!!

"If i run the defrag and the disk cleanup at the same time..."

This might be the best spoof intro I have ever seen!

You caught me off guard there lmao
Probably one of my favorite edits ever

The timelapse intro is one thing, but having that seamlessly cut into the shot of you picking the vase off the bed is another level of cool

Printing inside the Box is Thinking Outside the box :) Wow! Awesome.

I always appreciate mechanical solutions, this is an awesome solution!

love your 'analog' approach. I've been wanting to do time lapses for a long time, but got hold back by the idea of diving into octoprint. this seems like a very cool alternative. eventhough I don't have a camera like yours lying around. not a priority, but still would love to do it sometime.

That was a completely unexpected intro from your channel 😂. Literally laughed out loud. Was worth every minute of your time!

Nicely done Devin. I subscribed for quite a while to your Channel and many other 3d print related channels and it is so nice to see you guys constantly improving and evolving, before, your videos had so much more serious mood, almost like One is giving a college presentation but now its so well done, entertaining while keeping informative and clear, not to metion you really honored the "open source" philosophy by sharing your way of doing the timelapse so that really inspires me to do something similar here in Brazil with my little 3d printing company. Keep up buddy!

I just found out your Instagram and I saw that awesome timelapse you posted today then you said you will make a vid of how you do that astonish effect and then I was straight to your channel to wait for this!! It's a really clever technique, very interesting! You got one more sub!!
btw, that intro was funny as hell!!

[NickHouseholder]

Dude, I loved this - and your intro had me laughing out loud! Definitely going to try implementing something like this for my future videos.

[TheCruzanqueen]

That intro was the best ever!! I didn't have access to a printer this summer so I stopped obsessing over your creation vids. I missed your energy and I brought my tsugite puzzle with me in my travels. Too much fun 😁

[cesarrodriguez-twbp]

That intro with clamp and cable, mc^3, the welder, the knob spinning ;D ;D that was hilarious !! awesome!

[FlamingRibbons]

You are always so entertaining and your videos are always so interesting! I never get tired of them; even if I don’t have a 3D printer and can’t try these techniques out myself, I think your creations are so awesome (: Great ideas!!

[JAYTEEAU]

Awesome stuff Devin. I love seeing the physical control of things from time to time. Really well executed. Cheers, JAYTEE

[KyleCWong]

This was so cool! Great idea to actually physically put in a timelapse system. Love your intro and the style of your video! Keep up the great work! :)

[luiswendt]

Yaas thx, I've been waiting for this soo much!!

[brandonkeeber]

Extremely valuable information. Thank you. Never even considered a hardware solution. Just got my own modified version up and running and it works so well. Also, fantastic intro. The modulated scream when you jack into your ear is hauntingly beautiful

[elysianfields]

I might go about it in a different way but man I really appreciate the explanation on how the print seems to rise out of thin air. I thought for sure there was some kind of editing magic to it- nope! You literally just program the printer to rise a certain amount each layer and snap a photo. Crazy! Thanks for sharing.
