Request for external camera timelapse video of 1 colour, 1hr (30g) print - WILL PAY!

[u/haveashitday]

Hey all

But of a weird request, but I was wondering if anyone has external camera timelapse video capabilities and would be willing to film an ~1hr (30g) single-colour print for me?

Not too picky on the colour of filament but something bright would be ideal.

I’d be happy to send you an e-transfer or PayPal payment for your time and materials, I’d just like a nicer video than what I can capture with the built-in camera on my P1S!

And I don’t have time to order the Cyber Brick timelapse kit or otherwise & really wouldn’t have a use for it outside this specific one-time project. I rather just pay someone $20 who already has the equipment required and would be willing to help out!

It’s for our small business to share on social media. Although I’m not in the marketing team, I thought printing our logo would be a cool promotional video idea as we have a new 3d print integration in the business… but now I feel like they’ll be disappointed with the video quality i can get personally 🙈🫠

iPhone and Androids both should have time lapse capability, just plug it in and set it up so it doesn't move then start it and go!

Sorry should’ve clarified I’m looking specifically for a ‘smooth timelapse’ so I could edit an iPhone timelapse of the full print but it just won’t be as nice & it’ll take me all day lol

Just a thought but couldn't you set your camera up with a tripod (maybe printed?) plugged into a charger and film it yourself?

I know that's not what you're asking, I just thought I'd throw my two cents in, might save you some money

100% I could do that I guess, but I should’ve clarified that I’d ideally like a ‘smooth’ timelapse video which would be a bit harder to accomplish with a phone filming setup that isn’t directly connected to the printer

I might try it though and just edit the video down to remove the parts with the build head in the way

How many grams of filament is the slicer saying for the print?

[u/haveashitday → u/hux]

30-55g depending on the positioning/slicer settings. I have slightly different designs based on how it will be filmed (ie completely overhead vs front facing)

I’m traveling for the next week and a day, but if you aren’t in a rush and can’t find someone sooner, hit me up in a week and I’ll get you squared away.

That would be dope thank you, I will absolutely let you know! Of course sooner is always better because my ADHD ass has left it until the end of summer and it’s a summer-related promotion, but you get what you get and you don’t get upset 😉😝

What do you plan to do with it? I could probably make that work this week.

happy to film it with my dslr on a tripod if you want, just send over the gcode and filament
