I’m trying to record timelapse from the printing process but it is not happening.
The card is working. I’ve formatted it on the device. I get some videos recorded, but not the whole printing job. It seems like the printed stops recording at some point in the middle of the file and that is it. Print itself is successful, no issues there.
Example:
I printed something, it took 3.5h, there is 7 files around 250mb each and 1 around 94, that last one is unreadable. In the timelapse folder, there is “temp.video” file, also not readable. Each of those 250mb files is about 6 min 55 seconds long. Far from whole print.
Hi, are you sure you selected time lapse? it looks like you are making a video of the print itself. Time lapse files are not that big in size (between 2 and 15 MB)
hola, intento grabar un timelapse y no hay manera , no se si estoy haciendo algo mal, alguien me puede decir como se hace? ya tengo metida una tarjeta micro sd.
I am having the same issue. Did you ever solve it? I only got the temp video once so far. last couple prints, there is nothing in the time lapse folder.
I have not got a regular video that works either. Its always one file that won’t play. I just printed something that took well over 2 hours. One unplayable video shows in the ipcamera folder and nothing in the time lapse folder.
I have an issue where even though I select timelapse box it does not record anything at all into the timelapse folder… Will try replacing microSD card and try again.
Hey all,
Brand spanking new here (and to 3D printing). I think I figured out a couple of things regarding Timelapse.
You have to have a decent (but not cutting edge) micro SD card.
It has to be formatted from the printer.
You need to completely reboot the printer after your format it.
Be sure to turn OFF video in the Settings - General menu on the printer (it seems it can either record video OR do timelapse, but not both).
Be sure to check “timelapse” when submitting your print.
Before I did these things I kept getting a message about not having a micro SD card even though I had a brand new 512GB card. When I rebooted and solved that, I was just getting videos on the card and not timelapses. Then some message came up, when I went to reformat my card again to see if I could get timelapses to work, telling me that I couldn’t format my micro SD card until I turned off the video. A lightbulb went off. If I turned off video, formatted, rebooted, maybe timelapses would work and “huzzah” they do!!
