What were you doing when the problem occurred

Im attempting to print my first timelapse using octolapse on my new prusa I3 Mk3s

  1. STEP_ONE_GOES_HERE I took my raspberry pi from my old printer set up a printer profile for my new prusa I3 mk3s
  2. STEP_TWO_GOES_HERE I installed octolapse on it this morning and configured the printer profile starting with the Prusa I3 Mk3 profile already loaded.
  3. STEP_... I printed a small thing using one of the pre-sliced gcode profiles that came on the sdcard that came with the printer. The print and the octolapse worked as planned.
  4. I then sliced something on my own and tried to print it after confirming the start code contained g90/g91 and M90/91.

What should have happened?

PUT_YOUR_DESCRIPTION_HERE The octolapse should have worked the same way it worked with the pre sliced g code.

What happened instead?

PUT_YOUR_DESCRIPTION_HERE Octolapse took 1 picture before starting the first layer and then nothing.

I have tried copying the start code from the pre sliced model and pasting it into my Gcode and it did not have any effect.

Update I decided to slice the same model as the pre slice gcode and it started taking pictures but not on every layer change. out of over 125 layer it only took a picture of 23 of them.

Under trigger state it keeps going between saying "waiting for feature to trigger snapshot" and "waiting for extruder to trigger snapshot."

FormerLurker commented 4 years ago

You are using high quality mode snapshot profile. Select the compatibility mode. V0.4 uses new feature detection that doesn't mess up as often as the old version.

FormerLurker commented 4 years ago

Hey, since you're using an MK3, you might want to try out the new release candidate (v0.4.0rc1), which has the comment based feature detection (though you will need to change 1 setting in PrusaSlicer). It also will extract your slicer settings directly from the gcode file, which makes life easier. If you want to try it out let me know.

Compatibility mode helped but the z seam was terrible. What settings can fix that? How do i get the new release?

FormerLurker commented 4 years ago
  1. Open the OctoPrint settings (wrench/spanner icon)
  2. Select the Software Update from the left menu
  3. Click the spanner/wrench icon to edit the software update plugin settings
  4. Change the OctoPrint Release Channel to 'Maintenance RCs' and save your changes.
  5. Click Check for Updates Now
  6. OctoPrint will report an update is available. Update, reboot, and the new version should be installed.

Read this guide first! Let me know if you have any problems!

FormerLurker commented 4 years ago

Let me know if you still get a z seam. If you are printing in vase mode, use the new snap to print trigger profile (that is a very special case... Hard to eliminate z seam entirely in that case, but increasing the camera frame rate and setting your camera delay to 0 will help. Make sure retraction is enabled too!)

Any update on this? I'm hoping the new version solved your issue mostly.

omega-art commented 4 years ago

I dont have an update. I'm waiting on a new raspberry pi and sd card which isnt due to be delivered for another 2 weeks due to Covid 19. I had borrowed the r pi from another printer which is running an old version of octolapse but in order to do updates I have to reimage the sdcard and since Ive already got it set up to run my other printer I decided to wait on the new one.

FormerLurker commented 4 years ago

No problem! Take whatever time you need, and thanks for responding.

omega-art commented 4 years ago

I appreciate your help. By the way I saw a really cool time lapse the other day where they had an image taken at a slightly different position on the perimeter for each layer. The result was it looked like the print head was moving at slow speed but the print was growing at high speed the way you would see 3d printers work in cartoons. It would be awesome if octoprint could do that.

FormerLurker commented 4 years ago

That time lapse was probably done with octolapse using one of the default animated stabilizations :) check your drop down and look for orbit or animated printing. You can add your own customized animation too!

omega-art commented 4 years ago

The new pi arrived early. Ive only done one small print but it looks like 0.4.0 worked.

Forgot to close this, sorry. Thanks for posting!
