If you are looking for a nice 3D printer to start, the Ender 3 Pro is a solid choice. It is cheap, easy to assemble (well, as easy as it can be on "3D printing world"), it has a solid construction, produces great prints and there are LOTS of videos on UA-cam showing how to get the best results on this printer. My honest opinion, not sponsored.

I had my first computer in 1985 - back when you could do very little with a personal 8 bit computer (besides having lots of fun with games). 3D Printing in 2019 feels the same: it shows lots of potential, it certainly provides LOTS OF FUN - but this is still very fresh. Most of the time I am printing little toys for my daughter - she loves everything that gets out of the printer!
Will it be revolutionary? Is 3D printing the manufacturing process of the future? Who knows! But I bought the printer because I want be part of it - whatever 'it' might be.

Can you make one video on how to upgrade ender 3 to capable of connecting to wifi without raspberry? Something like node mcu or some arduino suff. ? And DIY auto bed levelling mod? Without BLtouch sensor. Some home made sensor as alternative to bltouch?
I print 12 hole Ocarinas and Easter Island Moai eyeglass stands for my Etsy print store.
Is it skrskr’s ender 3 pro or no?

Hey everybody! Enjoying the summer?
During the past 3 months I've been editing a LONG video that I couldn't finish yet (I am almost there). BUT I could not resist putting that aside for a moment and make this short video about 3D printing, because it is fascinating!
It seems every respectable geek must have a 3D printer these days - I didn't have one until last month (my birthday present from myself, ha ha).
I had my first computer in 1985 - back when you could do very little with a personal 8 bit computer (besides having lots of fun with games). 3D Printing in 2019 feels the same: it shows lots of potential, it certainly provides LOTS OF FUN - but this is still very fresh.

Are you 3D printing something?
Welcome to 3d printing lol. You'll love it.
I've been printing with a resin printer for just over a year, and I got a CR-10s a few weeks ago.
Mostly been printing things to get it tuned in well and to test out the different quality settings. Printing a LOT of dungeon tiles and stuff for Dungeons and Dragons right now
Thank you Tim! Since you have both types of printers, tell me: which one you like best? I see the super duper fine details of resin prints and I wonder if I got me the right type of printer to begin my journey :)
@@GeekDetourI'll be honest... I LOVE my Anycubic Photon. Some of the things I've printed with it have completely blown me away.. But, I'm having more pure fun with my CR10s.
With the photon, I have to put on gloves, mix my standard resin with the flex resin so it isn't incredibly brittle, but not too much so it isn't completely bendable.. Then print.. Then clean off the resin, let it dry, clean again, let it dry, then UV cure.
It's definitely worth it, but sometimes I don't have that much time free and I just have a whole bunch of uncured prints sitting around until I can deal with them properly.
CR10s, I have it connected to an octoprint. I send it a print job from my computer inside, monitor it on my phone while I'm at work, go outside when it's done, remove it from the bed, and I'm ready to print again.. And the prints are ready for whatever reason I wanted them. A lot easier.
I'm glad I have both, but if I was to only have one I'd go with the CR10s.
3d printers: the *new*
aggravation appliance.
My first real word practical print was a small curtain rod holder that utilized a small gap in the upper most part of the window. We are avoiding damaging the walls as we rent, so I printed basically a long tongue depressor with a C facing upward and it's worked like a charm. One and done and now I've been eager to find my next 3D printed solution.
I do freelance prototyping, and being able to turn ideas into tangible examples on the cheap is a big help
Freelance Prototyping seems amazing! Do your clients allow you to show your work on UA-cam??
Eres un maquina tío!
¡Gracias Carlos! Ja ja ja ¡Maquina eres tu, que haces 12 videos en un mes!
My mom does a lot of Christmas lights and stuff. I've designed a lot of stuff to help her with her projects.
Wow, that’s nice! Do you have photos or videos of it somewhere we could see?
Nice one bruv!
Thats like an MRI I knew I had holes in my head cheers.
If you know how to use fusion, there is literally no end to its practical uses. Fixing things, custom mounts for anything including Christmas lights, tools speakers... custom organizers for tools, brushes or anything. Custom Computer mounts or fan shrouds. Your imagination and intelligence is the only limitation
You are absolutely right! Fusion 360 is really worth learning 😃
I just printed 35 hearts for. Y daughter to give to her class for Valentines Day. The kids loved how a roll of plastic makes whatever they can dream of!
That’s awesome 👏
Que excelente video!!! Siga adelante 👍🏼
Muchas gracias! Me encanta que te haya gustado 😊
"In the end, cowards are those. Who follow the dark side" I have the yoda toy in the background. Thanks for sharing
Yeah! Totally ❤️ Love this one - but after a few months (and a few scares in the middle of night when I just passed in front of my table) I changed it to mute, just the light saber working 😄
@@GeekDetour lmao, same here.
That looks really awesome. Great work.
Yeah! It is a great model to have on your desk!
I've been printing game minis for our weekly D&D - and things for people at work - as well as things that are opportunity prints: stuff around the house that makes life easier - and its more fun to print than just place an online order from Amazon. I'm also starting some photogrammetry - with a cheap motorised turntable and lightbox for small to medium items, and an original kinect for larger items (I'm heavy into the learning stage there - lots of fun though).
Wow! You are really breathing 3D Printing! Thank you for sharing 😊 I was getting unhappy by just printing models from Thingiverse... I had to start printing something I’ve modeled myself - Tinkercad was very easy... now I am learning Fusion 360 and starting to design the pieces for my own IKEA Lack enclosure. For a 3D printer to be useful on a “normal” home, modeling must become something trivial - but I don’t know if that will be ever the case.
i am an electronics enthusiast, so i just use my printer (ender 3 v2) mostly like a tool, for printing enclosure's for my projects, and other stuff i need in general
Hi there, great video! what lighting did you use on either side of the 3d printer ?
Hi there! They are two relatively small LED panels with softboxes (diffusers) attached. I talk briefly about them in this video: ua-cam.com/video/Ceft8b7e--w/v-deo.html (with affiliate links in the description 😁). I “improved” their mount, I still need to make a video about it 🤣
3D printing is so crazy
Hi Eric! Yes! It is absolutely insane. I cannot have enough of it.
Hey man! Do you have a video tutorial on how to use logitech webcam to make this awesome time lapse?🙏
I guess I need to do it…
Oh, its great quality on logitech c922 !! Can you tell me please your setting for this webcam ? I mean contrast etc.
Hi 👋 Every time you turn on the Raspberry Pi, the Logitech camera will get back to automatic settings (that are terrible to make time lapses). I manually access the pi through SSH and type a few command lines to set manual gain, manual exposure, manual focus, manual saturation, manual sharpness... The gain always is set to the minimum (to reduce noise), then I adjust exposure accordingly to the light conditions (usually I have studio lights on). If you don’t have enough light, image will never be good!
So interesting what we can make with 3D printers now a days
I just got an Ender 3 V2 to get into 3D printing last weekend. Videos like yours urges me to get into printing more quickly... Printer got here a few days before the filament...
Oh man, that’s so cool! Congrats! 🍾🎈🎊 …and be careful! 3D Printing is clearly one of the most addictive hobbies (pun intended 🤣). Now seriously: it is SO fascinating that a lot of people get sucked into it in wrecking ways - some marriages go bad, some people decide to change their main activity to focus in 3D printing (it can become a nice business, but it is challenging as any new business venture). You’ve been warned! 🤣 And, welcome to the amazing club of 3D Printing!
@@GeekDetour Thanks 😁I needed a hobby to pass the long northern Canadian winter days, when the sun doesn't shine past 3PM and it's -30C outside. I watched a few channels like yours to get to know the "lore" better and so far, other than the assembly time and adjustments and fiddling in the slicer software (bloody hell... 😫) , it's been just a lot learning and fun 😁
Only thing I wasn't "prepared" for is the printing time... Oh well... I'll be Netflix n' Print for me quite often then... 🤣
@@GeekDetour where are the files for these prints
The infill was mesmerizing
Yeah! Gyroid is totally hypnotic to watch. I cannot have enough of it - the perfect infill for Timelapses 🤣 Anyway, have you watched this: ua-cam.com/video/pMK1nL0LGG0/v-deo.html
Hi. Awesome skull. question for you, what is the fill density and fill pattern ?
Hi, thanks! At 22 seconds you can see I used 10%, Gyroid. You can find Gyroid in most slicers - but the density will vary from slicer to slicer. 😁
That’s so mesmerizing!!!
Please, watch this one and tell me what you think: ua-cam.com/video/pMK1nL0LGG0/v-deo.html
I use it mostly to make parts for my cnc router/laser. But also holiday presants. Valentines is coming, so im doin some metalic gold n silver roses, with a lithoplane style vase with family photo n lights for the wife.. 😜
to be honest i havent begun 3d printint yet because got no space in my parents house but dont u worry though. When i do move out im defently gonna start my journey then. :)
Ha ha ha, not having enough space was and still is a problem throughout my entire life! 😁 You need to be creative and very often prioritize what matters most.
That pretty cool!!
Isn’t it? 3D printing is super awesome!
What a good video :D
Thank you 🤗 I love the kindness ❤️
What were your settings for this print if you don't mind me asking? Speed and temp mainly...
Hi there! Oh boy oh boy… hard to know - it was two years ago! It was one of my first prints, right after I purchased my Ender 3 Pro… I basically used the profile that Cura had for the Ender 3 🤷♂️
Are you having problems with your printer?
I just got my printer. Is this what it looks like with black pla? I haven't done an actual print yet
The printing looks so beautiful, how to you do the editing that the nozzles doesn’t cover the view?
Thank You! Of course, the nozzle is all over the part when it is printing… but in my case, after each layer is completed, the print head is moved outside and then the photos are taken - then it continues printing the next layer. This is all controlled by a Raspberry Pi computer that manages my 3D Printer (it is called “OctoPrint”, with a plug-in named “OctoLapse” that helps with the timelapse automation). And, if you also move a 3 axis camera using software, you can do this:

Hi Andrew, my pleasure! I am glad you enjoyed it. Oh man, hang on! 😬 I hope you are on a safer area.
@@GeekDetour I am actually :) My city is the only city that hasn't been shelled. I think that cause we are close to Romania..
Well, all things considered… that’s very good. I am glad you are safe. We live in Spain and we assisted an Ukrainian friend of us to get here with her daughter - life suddenly gets completely upside down… anyway. War is terrible.
Great video! I recently just added a Raspberry Pi and OctoPrint/Octolapse into my 3d printing workflow. I have a Logitech C922 webcam to take the Octolapse but I have a problem where the webcam isn't focused in on the 3D printed object, it's more focused in on the back of the printer. I have 2 light sources which are 2 ring lights. Any tips on how to get clearer snapshots for the Octolapse?
Hi there! There is a section “Disabling Autofocus” in this page: iotrant.com/2020/02/25/properly-configuring-a-camera-in-octoprint/
I don’t remember step by step what I did to enable the Web Control UI I use to manually control the settings of my webcam, but it is related to this: community.octoprint.org/t/available-mjpg-streamer-configuration-options/1106/28 Everytime I will record a timelapse, I adjust the settings, including focus and exposure. Hope it helps!
@@GeekDetour thank you! I will check both of these links out!
@@GeekDetour I'm not at my computer right now, but the first link looks to be my solution with the SSH command "Disable Autofocus". Where/how again do I access the Shell terminal to type the commands in?
Oh, search for OctoPi SSH... I don’t remember. I know that somehow I’ve put a lot of camera commands on a shell script that automatically loads everytime my Raspberry Pi boots - unfortunately, the autofocus disable didn’t work on that script, but manual exposure did. One day I might make a tutorial about that... but I am not a Linux guy - everytime I need to do things I need to search my way out for every single step 😆
Will a 3d printer automatically make the inside of a solid object a grid pattern to save materials? Or do you have to put it in yourself?
Hi Bloink 👋 The printer itself is very dumb: it only has a board that reads a GCode file containing coordinates and it moves the motors accordingly. The real science happens on the “Slicer” program on your computer: that’s where you load a 3D model (in STL format) and you chose lots of settings on how you will “slice it” to send to the printer. You will chose the thickness of the walls, the type of infill (and how much plastic goes in the infill), temperatures, speed and many other things. Depending on the model, it is possible to print a completely hollow part - it is not the case of this skull: it needed supports (you cannot start printing mid-air) and it also needs some infill structure (the “pattern” you saw) so it can hold the upper features in place. There is a lot to be learned to properly print things on a 3D printer - and it is fascinating to me.
@@GeekDetour you didn't answer the question, yes the pattern is generated by the slicer, it is not manually added in
I designed an ODF knife and it works really well
You designed the “enclosure/mechanism” for a real metal blade? Or the whole thing is plastic, like a prop? 🤔
@@GeekDetour The original mechanism inside of the ODF knife didn’t work very well So I had to modify it in Such a way in witch the latching mechanism would latch on to the blade a little easier I also made the blade longer and customized the casing.
Esta muy buenos lo s videos
¡Muchas gracias! 😄
I have 2 ender 3 v2 printers and having trouble with the best hot end i have every one they make yes one of each direct drive and can't get it to really work whats can it be do I have to change the extruder settings
Hi there! It is hard to understand what’s going on with your Ender 3… but, if you are having extruder problems, maybe you should check this video: ua-cam.com/video/7tCxO17XZtw/v-deo.html
I got a mars pro 3 right when it came out. I have made 5 prints on it 2 were good the rest were learning curves. I have not used it in 2 years now because I can't afford any resins. It sucks seeing that thing on my desk just sitting there. I have a few bottles left but I'm holding onto those for a project that I'm building. Which I'm worried that they will go bad sitting on my shelf.
Oh man, I totally feel your pain! I have a few boxes with projects in different stages of development - things that I had to postpone because they were taking much longer than what I envisioned. Suddenly you need to focus on more urgent things or quicker projects with more immediate financial potential 🤷♂️
I’ve been printing a lot of Star Wars props.
Currently working on two different blasters and a thermo-detonator
I would love to print Star Wars props! The apartment we live in is too small - one day! 🤣
@@GeekDetour but blasters are small
Ha ha ha, yeah! But the apartment is already filled with stuff 😬 We are looking into finding a bigger apartment or maybe a house where my workshop would be “apart” - it will make “home” more “homey” and beautiful decorative objects will be meaningfully on display… not in boxes.
Woah!!
Ha ha, thanks! Now, watch THIS: ua-cam.com/video/0uR1UBcCcEM/v-deo.html
Hello,
How can I adjust a logitech C930E webcam, to octolapse as your video and be able to obtain videos with good video quality?
The Webcam Automatic Settings sucks... mostly the autofocus that keeps changing. I made a script that sets its gain, focus, brightness... everything to fixed values. I don’t remember where I found the documentation... Take a look at this page and see if it helps: github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/wiki/Configuring-a-Raspberry-Pi-Camera
How did you get your ender to print so nicely?
Thank you! Actually, this was my first “big print” (four years ago, when I had just bought the Ender) - if you look closely, it was far from being a perfect print. Today, this old Ender 3 would print even better - you need to learn how to calibrate a few things, and also find a decent filament brand (and dry the filament)… If you are starting with 3D Printing, be patient - there is a bunch of stuff to learn and it takes time.
I have a 3d printer and my favourite thing to print is the rocktopus
Ha ha ha, The Rocktopus is funny 😆
Nice timelapse! what lens did you use with the canon?
Thank you Alex 😁 Nothing fancy, it is the kit lens that came with my Canon 600D: a tele EF-S 18-55mm. But the image you see in the video was very cropped, I recorded the timelapse very open, everything basically in focus and in the video I cropped (“zoomed”) to show specific details. The timelapse made from photos results in a bigger resolution than 4K 😁
@@GeekDetour thanks!
@@GeekDetour Great video! Can you be so kind to explain how to sync shooting with certain plate and extruder position? Thanks in advance!
can you tell me what the infill patern you are using to get those cool curves for the timelapse please?
Sure! It is “Gyroid” infill.
ua-cam.com/video/AVL3cUaArUE/v-deo.html
What are your settings for the C922? I am not able to get close to that quality with the webcam. It comes out rather pixelated, or the exposure varies even if the lighting condition doesn't change.
Hi there Jason 👋 So, I chose every setting manually - here is a good tutorial on how to do it: iotrant.com/2020/02/25/properly-configuring-a-camera-in-octoprint/
@@GeekDetour Thanks! Will definitely check it out. Appreciate it.
Yeah, you need to set manual exposure... manual everything: contrast, brightness, exposure and focus.
After what you make is printed, Does it feel cheaply made?! Like easy to break and falls apart?
Nope! 3D Printing has a very particular feeling / touching. When I print with PLA, it feel quite rigid.
Hi great video i was just looking for a way to make timelapse with Logi c922 on Creality 6 please help !!! i Must have watched 100 videos and not a single proper explanation .. again any help would be welcome !! Thanks in advance
Currently printing the first part of the base for a portalgun stand.
Are you printing the whole portalgun too?
Can you help me out. I’m new to 3D printing want to start printing and selling stuff on Etsy. Can you recommend a 3D printer. And everything I will need for it. Going to start doing small stuff first.
Ha ha, I read your question two days ago… but I still didn’t find the time to write a decent answer enumerating everything you need to know to succeed in your new business 🤣
Now, being serious: of course it is possible to sell prints even when your are just getting started… BUT, 3D printing has a learning curve and it takes time. Modeling takes even more time. Finding a niche could help you a lot, because there are more and more people selling 3D printed stuff.
Watch videos like this: ua-cam.com/video/gKDDoSryluo/v-deo.html
Very good timelapse and print! the only thing i have to say you should place less infill, that is a lot!
Thanks! You are right! ❤️ This was my first big print, like, days after getting my first 3D Printer - almost 3 years ago 🤣
Are the c922 and dslr controlled by a single raspberry pi? Or you're using a separate pi and octolapse for the dslr and the webcam? Thanks!
Hi Jason 👋 Both are controlled by the same single Raspberry Pi using OctoLapse. The Canon is triggered by USB and the photos also are passed to the pi through USB. I followed this tutorial: github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/wiki/Configuring-an-External-Camera
@@GeekDetour Much appreciated. Thanks!
I have always wonder, how much filament do you need for something like this, is it expenssive?
It was half spool (400g on the skull, 100g on supports). The average price of a PLA spool is U$ 20
@@GeekDetour So it was about $10, it's a good price actually for such a large piece. I guess you can make more space inside and get a expend less PLA, not sure if it will affect the piece.
I have a Prusa Printer and I did something like this and it takes forever!
Yeah! Took almost two days!!! 😆
I have the ender 3 v2. Been over a year now. Right now im having trouble keeping the bed leveled. For some reason it is constantly out of whack. I dont mind the paper leveling but this is getting crazy not sure why it is doing this. I added the upgraded springs from the beginning but now it is getting very frustrating. Any ideas. Oh my bed is not moving or wobbling in case. Could the glass becoming warped over time? or is it something else. Thanks for advice.
Hi there! Yeah, it is not right: I don’t remember how many months since the last time I leveled my Ender 3 Pro. The secret is that I operate the bed with the springs very tensioned - I tight them almost to their limit, then go back a couple of turns. To make it work like this, owners of the regular Ender 3 need to move the Z limit switch down, to make the nozzle reach the bed at a lower position. BUT, since you have an Ender 3 V2, I think you don’t need to do much, it has auto-bed level, right??
@@GeekDetour No auto bed level. I do the level manually with paper. I never had trouble before but is causing me trouble now. My Z limit switch is resting on the bottom. Does the glass wear over time? Or even warp? I was using PLA+ and almost to the end of the spool but dont think that has anything to do with it. My bed temp and hot end is heating correctly so dont think that is the trouble. I have a so slight wobble to my bed not sure that would play in it. I appreciate the advice your giving me. I spun my glass bed around and seemed to print correctly. I didnt do a bed level for the test. But printed fine for small parts.
@@furballkimfpv9365 hey, do you participate in the official Creality Group on Facebook!? There, you can easily post videos of what is happening with your printer - and there will be thousands of people with the very same printer as yours to help you out. I say that because I don’t have an Ender 3 V2 🤷♂️😳🤣
@@GeekDetour yes im subbed to the group. Thank you for all your help my friend. Bless
Great video! Can you be so kind to explain how to sync shooting with certain plate and extruder position? Thanks in advance!
Sure! The Ender 3 can print on its own… but to make timelapses like this, it is much better to print using a Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint with a plug-in called OctoLapse.
The Cameras are also connected to the Raspberry Pi and OctoLapse will take a Photo after each layer is finished - it has some options of what it does with the print head. It can stand still on a position out of the printed part, but it can also change the position slightly for each photo, and give the impression it is floating around.
When the printer cannot be controlled by a Raspberry Pi, you need to be more creative - and I used a sensor that triggers the photos when the print bed moves to the very edge:
ua-cam.com/video/19EgIJJ9g8E/v-deo.htmlsi=kQnTvBZ_1W3Dfayr
are you using a program to edit your videos?? i noticed the head of the printer is in the same spot the entire time. thank you in advance
3D Printing Time-lapse vídeos like mine are “stop-motion”: they are make from hundreds of photos taken after each layer finished printing. It is all controlled by a computer - in this casa it was a Raspberry Pi, running OctoPrint and OctoLapse. So, after a layer was finished, the print-head was moved outside (the position you saw), and Two Photos were taken (one with a Canon 600D and another with a Logitech C922 webcam), then another layer begins to be printed…. When it is finished, the print head was moved again to the same position, and two new pictures taken…. That’s how this video was made.
I also made a much more complex video - also everything controlled by computers… with the print-head bouncing on the rhythm of the music and the camera “moving” around. I think you will like it: ua-cam.com/video/pMK1nL0LGG0/v-deo.html
Which software is best to create 3d models?
Hi there! For organic and artistic models, Blender is amazing (but it has a very steep learning curve). Most of what I do is engineering / functional models - for that, Fusion 360 is very powerful and you can find A LOT of tutorials on UA-cam. I use a “personal/hobby” license that is free.

Hi there 👋 I have an Ender 3 and the bed indeed moves front and back (y-axis), so, the best way I recommend to make timelapses is to use “OctoPrint” on a Raspberry Pi, and use the OctoLapse plugin - it will pause que print and position the bed on the same position every time it takes a photo. Search for “OctoLapse” and you will find plenty of excellent tutorials like this one: ua-cam.com/video/CjOIxKxb3h8/v-deo.html
Therapeutic. 👍🏻💀
Isn’t it?! 😄 I agree! 🤣 I am happy you liked it 👍

Como haces la foto siempre en el mismo punto para que no se mueva la pieza y no se vea el extrusor ?
Te habría venido de perlas la cama de la ender 3 pro
Hola! Pues si és una Ender 3 Pro pero su cama caliente ha venido bastante curva (el centro se quedaba cerca de 1mm más bajo que los bordes. Entonces puso el cristal este que ves en el vídeo. De todas formas, desde entonces he cambiado mucho en la impresora: he aplainado la cama lijando-la (he tenido que comprar otro par de superficies magnéticas), y hoy mi superficies favorita es una lámina flexible de acero cubierta de PEI.
El Timelapse se hace con una Raspberry Pi ejecutando “OctoPrint” con plugin llamado “OctoLapse”. Todo va conectado al Raspberry: la Ender es controlada por el, y también las cámaras... todo por USB. El plugin OctoLapse es quien mueve la cama siempre a la misma posición para las fotos, después de que cada capa se termina de imprimir. Después que está todo ajustado es muy fácil de usar.
How many time to finish create it?
It was almost two days - it was my fist big print and I did it very slow back then
¿El mini motor rotativo es funcional?

I always wanted to get a 3d printer...now I just found out about the printing time, it's pretty huge but other than that, should I be worried about anything else ?
Why worry? It's not dangerous, expensive or anything that you should be worried about. Just enjoy :) Just check for good printers, looking at ender 3pro to buy soon for myself.
@@mmdirtyworkz thanks!

Is this very difficult to set up and use?
You mean, making TimeLapses? Once it is set, it is not so difficult. But, yeah, making good looking timelapses require that your light conditions are controlled (no open windows, non-flickering lamps) and you need to set the camera/webcam to manual settings. There are many tutorials, I like to go to the source - the creator of the OctoLapse plug-in: ua-cam.com/video/sDyg9lMqMG8/v-deo.html
Can you please send me the thingiverse 3d files? I tried the link but there's only readme.
How did the printer arm not move in some of the timelapse?
Hi there! This timelapse video is made like a “stop-motion” animation: after each layer is printed, the print-head is moved out for the position you saw, then it takes a picture. The print-head comes back and prints another layer, move out to the same position and it takes another photo. So, in every photo the print-head will appear to be out, while the printed part “grows”.
Impressive
What I've been working on is a replica weapon from a video game that released 20 years ago.
Sounds cool! What are you using to model it?
@@GeekDetour fusion360 at current, working off of stills from 3 angles. It's what a lot of content creators have said was a good (or decent, at least) modeling program that won't break the bank.
Oh, that’s great! I use Fusion 360 for all my 3D Printing modeling - I use the hobby license and it is enough for creating everything I needed so far.

Please tell me how you got 1day and 13 hours? What are the cura setting?
Everything changes the time: layer height I am sure it was 0.2…. If you reduce the amount of infill, it saves time. If you go from 5 walls to 4 walls or even 3, it saves time. You could change the speed of the infill, set it to 80… How much time it is saying to you??
How did you trigger the DSLR through octolapse?

Almost 2 days… I don’t remember anymore.
I just print little figurines, Minecraft pigs, cats, cuz my printer is pretty inaccurate, cuz it was only like 100 dollars but it works great
Man, do you do that on a filament printer? Or Resin? This type or “art/decorative” parts, resin is UNBEATABLE! There are very affordable resin printers now: ua-cam.com/video/FOARWNvAjBE/v-deo.html
@@GeekDetour I use a filament printer
How does someone give the computer the demensions? Newbie here
The person that creates the model, using CAD or 3D modeling tool, already specify the dimensions of everything. Even so, before you 3D Print, in the Slicer software you can change the dimensions - it is very easy to modify the dimensions of the part, as a whole. You have many tutorials here on UA-cam, search for example: “How to change size in Cura” (or the slicer you are using).

Hey can you Help me, octoprint don't recognize my camera and i don't know how to hear it?
Hi Jan, I also don’t “hear” my WebCam through OctoPrint, it is just video.
@@GeekDetour I'm sorry my english is really bad. I said we added the logitech to octoprint, unfortunately mine doesn't work there
How can I save the captured images?
My printer AND the cameras are controlled by a Raspberry Pi running “OctoPrint”. And there is a plug-in called “OctoLapse” that shoots the photos from the webcam and the Canon, and immediately transfer them from the USB cable and store them in the Raspberry pi’s SD Card. One photo per camera per layer… in the end, the Pi converts the photos in a video.
There are excellent tutorials on how to configure such setup.
How? Just how? Why does the print head not move?
🤣 it’s magic! Here, an even more puzzling one (you asked for the print head moving right? Here the camera also moves) ua-cam.com/video/pMK1nL0LGG0/v-deo.htmlsi=pKHyVO-8UFqB8zop

I am going for a 3d printed model roller coaster
That would be great! But, is it a roller coaster replica? Or a marble roller coaster? 🎢
How come the extruder isn't moving on the time lapse?
If the Nozzle not moving is puzzling, then you will LOVE the last moment of this short: ua-cam.com/video/6S-uPPnSlzI/v-deo.html
Ok, I’ll tell you the “secret” for these amazing timelapses where the model stays perfectly still while magically growing up with the nozzle far away or doing some floating movements 😃: It is very much like Stop-Motion animation. The printer is usually controlled by a software called OctoPrint and the OctoLapse plug-in. The printer finishes a layer and, before starting a new layer, OctoLapse moves the extruder to a position outside of the model, takes a photo and then a new layer begins… after finished, takes the nozzle out of the way again (the model will always move to the same place, so it appears “still”), takes another photo and the printing continues for another layer… one photo per layer. It is amazing, right? I love it ❤️
no idea how you made your C922 look that good lol my C930 looks garbage :P even with the resolution set to 1920x1080
Hi there, thanks! The secret is: MANUAL settings. The first time I plugged the camera, I was deeply disappointed… But when you MANUALLY adjust it and use enough lighting, image can be quite good! The process is boring, but if you interested in getting it right, here is the author of OctoLapse explaining step by step: ua-cam.com/video/2ygwHg-Zrok/v-deo.html
AND, watch the most extreme timelapse I made using the C922 (plus motion control):
ua-cam.com/video/pMK1nL0LGG0/v-deo.html
How many hours did this actually take?a lot longer than 3mins
Oh yes! What you saw is like a “stop-motion animation”. In reality it is one photo after each layer is finished printing. The print took Two Days 😁 Non stop.
i have a c922, how to make it as camera for timelapse?
My Ender 3 printer is controlled by a Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint. And OctoPrint has a plugin called OctoLapse that takes the photos after each completed layer - it moves the head and the bed of the printer always to the same spot before taking the photo, so it looks very cool, like a stop motion in witch the piece grows in place. The C922 is connected to the Raspberry, of course. If you are into it and need a tutorial to configure things, here is one: ua-cam.com/video/BhiJua0q2Cs/v-deo.html
@@GeekDetour hey man, thanks for the reply. Are you printing with your Ender 3 ? YOu are the best man!
I thought you were asking about how to use your C922 for 3D Printing timelapses, like the one in this video. To make timelapses alone, like, outside (as if it were a GoPro), I don’t know an easy way... Its an USB Camera, you need some computer and a program to do so... In my case, the OctoLapse is all made to shoot timelapses of 3D printing.
Could i do coffee mugs? Handle and all?
Coffee Mugs have interesting challenges: PLA and PETG plastic usually deform a lot at coffee temperature…. And the printed layers are not really smooth: they work like trenches where bacteria can grow even if you try to wash the mug really well… The easy answer is “no”. (I am planing a video about coffee mugs and how they could be 3D printed)
@@GeekDetour thnx for the reply.
How is it making it without moving
It is a Stop-Motion video: the nozzle of the printer of course moves all around, extruding melted plastic, a very thin layer at a time… But when it finishes a layer, a computer moves the nozzle to a corner, and the cameras take photos. Then, it prints another layer, moves to the same corner, more photos, and so on. In all the photos, the nozzle is stoped far from the printed object.
@@GeekDetour ohhh okay, thanks for the explanation! Alot of videos use this method so i was abit confused
You MUST watch my most insane time-lapse video: ua-cam.com/video/0uR1UBcCcEM/v-deo.html Everything appears to be moving: the nozzle moves with the song, the prints grow, and the camera also moves - but it is all stop-motion, coordinated by software.
How you did the effect like it doesn't move?
Hi there! Thats a fun question! Of course, the printer is working and moving all the time, but, after each layer is completed, the print head is moved to the edge and a photo is taken. For all the photos, the print head and the print bed are moved to the very same position… so, when the photos are joined as a movie, everything is “stopped” and you see the printed layers growing up.
This is all automated by OctoLapse/OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi.
If you liked this, you MUST watch this:

The camera moves, “black magic!” 🤣
@@GeekDetour so you standing there the whole printing and take a picture every time?
And how you doing it in cura?
No!!!! It is all automated. 🤣
How to record such timelapse videos?
Hi 👋 My Ender 3 printer is controlled by “OctoPrint” (a “3D print server” running on a Raspberry Pi) and a plug-in called “OctoLapse” takes a photo after every layer is finished - it moves the print head away, so we can see the piece “growing” in the exact same place - very cool! I was using 2 cameras. If you want a tutorial on how to set OctoLapse, this one is very nice: ua-cam.com/video/CjOIxKxb3h8/v-deo.html
@@GeekDetour you're such a great creator. You replied me so nicely that was my pleasure. Creators hard work only a creator can understand. I have one more idea to do that without raspberry pi. Just setting up camera or mobile phone and using a push button one end and aux cable at another end to take picture . Some addition of code is required after every layer print in slicing software so that print head moves to one and and hits the push button that takes a picture. Simple and easy without raspberry for people with budget.
Hey, thank you! You should watch this “Great Scott” video: ua-cam.com/video/UqZ8Um5MZEA/v-deo.html At the very end he uses a microswitch connected to the Canon to take pictures... but it was a weird solution because he was after all using a Raspberry Pi - and the Pi can control the Canon through USB, all by software, no need for the microswitch. But maybe that’s an idea for you. Also, take a look at this GCode on Marlin, you might need to enable it on your firmware, but it can make things easier: marlinfw.org/docs/gcode/M240.html
Can I have or buy a skull organizer from you? Do you sell them?
Hi Chris! I don’t sell them. On the description of the video there is a link to the STL model on Thingiverse, you can ask a friend who has a 3D printer to print it for you - it might cost around 15 USD in filament.
Is the time-lapse real or is it a 3D animation? If real; how did you do it?
Hi Michael 👋 Yeah: 100% real, captured with a Canon 600D and a Logitech C922. Cameras are connected to a Raspberry Pi that is controlling everything: both the 3D printer and the cameras. It uses a system called “OctoPrint” and a plugin called “OctoLapse” - that positions the printbed at the very same position after each layer is printed, takes the photos, and then goes for the next layer... This is a very popular solution - all good 3D printing timelapses you find on UA-cam are made this way 👍😄
Geek Detour wow amazing! Thank you for your time and quick & detailed reply :)
