that's why using a fully closed system is not good for makers, with other printer running open-sourced firmware like klipper, or Prusa MK4S with the GPIO board, you just add a output pin and that's all
I did create a time-lapse device for Bambu printers a year or so ago. It is more complicated than yours as it connected to the printer over Wi-Fi and used MQTT messages from the printer to determine when a layer change was happening and triggered the camera then. The original was for SONY cameras as it connected to them as well to instructed the camera to take a picture. A further updated version also used a servo to physically push the shutter button on an action camera. Video here. ua-cam.com/video/qvjMZTnUbnw/v-deo.htmlsi=qme8JdF5JHduUccK
