Ultimaker S5 Plugin requested: use the built-in camera to make a timelapse

· Ultimaker S5 Plugin requested: use the built-in camera to make a timelapse
A plugin would be possible, but then it will be stored on your computer. Saving to the USB stick on the printer is not possible when running a plugin in Cura. But anyway, such a plugin is currently not available.
But there is python script which does timelapse from the UM3/S5 cam. It has to run on your computer and only takes screenshots of the cam at a given interval. When the print is finished the script merges the pictures to a time-lapse video. Works well.
If you are interested, search here in the forum for timelapse, there is a thread with installation instructions.
But of course, you should have a stable network connection to your printer.
