[Ultimaker 3 Octolapse-Style Timelapse]

Thanks for the tips. I have had to run the printers for actual jobs this week so will try and get it working at the end of the week. I will let you know how it goes!

Thanks

Thanks Starbuck

 

I'm getting closer! it's now creating a video but it doesn't show the build.

 

I have checked the temp folder where the the captures are saved and it has one image from when the print starts with the buildplate lowered and 30 images from when the print has finished, again with the build plate lowered.

 

It doesn't seem to be taking any captures during the print.

I think I have my file set up as you describe, dual colour with printcore 2 doing a dummy model 1mm x 1mm the height of the main model.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Paul

Hey @PaulMiles! Here's the information in your error message that's important: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

 

To fix that, I'd use python-pip to install the package called requests like this

 

pip install requests

or "pip3" if just plain "pip" doesn't work for some reason. pip3 is the python3 specific version.

 

hi Starbuck!

that's great it worked!

 

but now when creating the video i'm facing another error, i think it's failing to use ffmpeg for some reason, not sure why.

 

:: Encoding video
ffmpeg -r 30 -i C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp9ifx3knq\%05d.jpg -vco
dec libx264 -preset veryslow -crf 18 -loglevel panic test.mkv
'ffmpeg' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

 

does the .exe need to be in the same folder of the script or something?

 

thanks again for your help :)

you could try turning on 'print thin walls' found under shell tab in cura

I'm using 3.2.0 and it's here:

 

I don't think it was a new feature, but maybe try searching for 'remove all holes'

Hi

I have done quite a large amount of printing from AECOSim and unfortunately there is no easy way to get just the skin. 

 

I had a quick look at your stl. and it's pretty good. I think you might be able to get it to work if you make sure all of the openings are closed, at the moment there is a gap above your 'garage door', the roof light/skylight is open and so is the chimney. 

Once these are closed you could try 'remove all holes' and 'extensive stitching' (both under Mesh fixes on Cura). This normally works well.
