The best way to do this would be a plugin. Do you know a little python? It's not hard to write cura plugins.
Are you going to take a photo on every layer completion? To make a sped up video?

fantastic tip. looking at the gcode in a text editor, I can easily write a Python script to spit out a new text file with the extra lines added. would be lovely to import that as a Cura plugin though
I have written python scripts in the past for comparing and renaming files in a folder and such. but never written a Cura plugin. is there a getting started guide anywhere? alternatively some sample code I can look at?
yes. on all time-lapse videos, you can see the print head wissing about. I think that looks quite distracting. if I take each picture with the printhead parked in the corner, I think it would look quite nice. it's an idea, will see how it goes ?
