Yes. For reference.
- A SDCARD has to be present inside the printer
- It has to be formatted from the printer (the first time it is inserted)
- Timelapses have to be activated in each project (last tab “Others” > “Timelapse” > switch to “Standard” or “Smooth”
- Full videos are activated from the “device” tab (once the print is started) (but i’m not sure that the “timelapse” button here (in the device tab) is working)
Note : there is a feature request about being able to store timelapses and videos on the network (even without sdcard) here : Save video to network
About downloading timelapses and videos
- Timelapses can be downloaded directly from the Bambu Studio application (through the “devices” tab). Desintation folder can be changed in the Bambu Studio preferences.
- Timelapses and videos can be retrieved from the SDCard, once inserted in a computer (this is the only way to retrieve full videos)
About SDCards : they are very difficult to remove from the Bambu Lab screen case. It is adviced to use either that small tool (Printables) to help removing them, either to print something like this (Printables)
About “full videos”, they are indeed truncated in several 245mb files.
It’s however very easy (under linux) to concatanate them (without re-encoding - so in a few seconds - and without quality losses), just use :
find *.mp4 | sed 's:\ :\ :g' | sed 's/^/file /' > list.txt
ffmpeg -safe 0 -f concat -i list.txt -c copy video-merged.mp4
(there are probably solutions for windows, but i don’t know them)
As an example : a 1 hour printing = 1 hour video = takes 1.5 GB on disk.
