UPDATE: I got it!! just had to type "pip install requests" in cmd prompts, and then the full string command worked! quick rundown for anyone still struggling on windows: -download python -download ffmpeg -download timelapse.py -download ultimaker api (unsure if this is required, but just to be safe) -move python exe, ffmpeg exe, and timelapse.py to the same folder. (worked for me with just these files, I didn't have to move any extraneous folders or files) -open command prompt from the start menu -Navigate to the correct folder in command prompt by copying file path from the top bar in the file explorer, then type: cd <filepath> into CMD Prompt -type pip install requests to make sure python is up to date and ready Running the script post-install/setup: -Open cmd prompt -Navigate to folder by copying the file path and typing: cd <filepath> -Type command as follows: python timelapse.py HOST DELAY OUTFILE Replace HOST text with IP address of printer. Replace DELAY text with desired rate of capture, in seconds. 30 will take a photo every 30 seconds, etc. Replace OUTFILE text with the desired resulting video file name. e.g. timelapse.mp4. -It will wait for the printer to start, and tell you where it’s saving images to the local app folder. -It does take images while setting up print and heating up, and during any pauses in print. -The computer must stay on and running during entire duration of print, cura does not have to be running at all. -Once completed, the video will be saved in the same file location as the code. -If it’s not opening in QuickTime, media player, or any other basic players, open in VLC or Premiere and save out again.
