My Prusa i3 MK3 Timelapse Mod
Introduction
For a long time now I've always wanted to produce some of those super cool 3D printing time lapses. Last weekend I decided it was time to do it. The project turned out to be a complete success and I learned so much valuable information in the process. I've learned the basics of Fusion 360 and how to write my own custom g-code.
​
The purpose of the video below is to share what I've learned, so that you can achieve the same results. I hope you find it useful.

Download The Parts
I have decided to make the parts open source. I have uploaded the models to my Thingiverse profile (formats: STEP, STL and F3D).

Recommended Print Settings
Recommended PETG:
I highly recommend that you print the parts in PETG. This is a strong plastic, and given that Prusa printer parts are printed in PETG by default, it seems sensible to follow suit.
Settings:
-
0.2 mm layer height, infill 20% GRID. Material: PETG.
-
Extruder parts MUST be printed in BLACK PETG.
My Camera Setup
I use a Nikon camera, so I use the 'SHOOT MC-DC2 Timer Remote Shutter'.
